I have one html-pdf converted file in which the internal links are trying to link externally.

I have an A tag:

Code: HTML/ASPX
<a id="null" class="mapPin MapPushpinBase" href="#ID_1" style="position: absolute; cursor: inherit; left: 73.8861px; top: -17.7731px; width: 20px; height: 34px;">
<img src="images/colour004.png">
<div id="marker_1" style="position: absolute; text-align: center; width: 100%; font: bold 10pt Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); left: 0px; top: 0px;">1</div>
</a>


And I have a link on another page:

Code: HTML/ASPX
<div style="page-break-before: always">
<a name="ID_1"></a>
This is ID 1
</div>


However clicking the first A tag tries to send me outside of the PDF.

The URL for this html is http://localhost/maphazardspro_q3_2013/ASTM05Map.aspx?MapSize=900x900&Zoom=17&ShowSites=1&MinZoomDist=2&ReportID=%20dfjdf%20k%20hdfk%20f&ClientID=1

So the link it is trying to go to is http://localhost/maphazardspro_q3_2013/ASTM05Map.aspx?MapSize=900x900&Zoom=17&ShowSites=1&MinZoomDist=2&ReportID=%20dfjdf%20k%20hdfk%20f&ClientID=1#ID_1

I tried the following to no avail:
Code: Visual Basic.NET
EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.Options.BaseUrl = "http://localhost/maphazardspro_q3_2013/ASTM05Map.aspx?MapSize=900x900&Zoom=17&ShowSites=1&MinZoomDist=2&ReportID=%20dfjdf%20k%20hdfk%20f&ClientID=1"


I tried this with a simpler HTML file and it worked as expected. Is there some problem with querystrings? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Brad

Hi,

Link conversion only occurs within the SAME CONVERSION. So if you call ConvertHtml twice on two HTML segments, even if you output into the same PDF file, links from conversion A will NOT reference link to conversion B. If you want the links to work, you will need to merge the HTML together first, then run them through the converter through a single conversion.

Thanks!

Actually , this is in one conversion with one URL.

I will try to get some time this evening to put it on a public facing server.

Hi,

If you can isolate the problem into a test HTML file you can email the file to us directly. We will PM you as to where to send.

Thanks!
