We just recently purchased the EO controls and we’re having some issues with the HTML to PDF control. The issue that we’re having is that the control is duplicating some of the values when it creates the final PDF document.
Here is what it’s doing:
When I run my project (visual studio 2017 c#) my asp.net page loads correctly. When I inspect the element in question on my page I see this:
<div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_edstaffNoStatement" class="noStatement"><ul><li><p class="importance-statements"> You indicated that maintenance of specialty certification for nurses IS NOT required of nurses staffing the ED.</p></li></ul><br><p class="importance-statements"><strong>IMPORTANCE: </strong>Credentialing for nursing staff who see pediatric patients is important to ensure critical staff stays up-to-date on current treatment guidelines and protocols, and for maintenance of psychomotor skills necessary to care for this population of patients.</p><br><br></div>
Looks like this:
• You indicated that maintenance of specialty certification for nurses IS NOT required of nurses staffing the ED.
IMPORTANCE: Credentialing for nursing staff who see pediatric patients is important to ensure critical staff stays up-to-date on current treatment guidelines and protocols, and for maintenance of psychomotor skills necessary to care for this population of patients.
If I click the button on my form to export this control using the EO object this element is duplicated
• You indicated that maintenance of specialty certification for nurses IS NOT required of nurses staffing the ED.
IMPORTANCE: Credentialing for nursing staff who see pediatric patients is important to ensure critical staff stays up-to-date on current treatment guidelines and protocols, and for maintenance of psychomotor skills necessary to care for this population of patients.
• You indicated that maintenance of specialty certification for nurses IS NOT required of nurses staffing the ED.
IMPORTANCE: Credentialing for nursing staff who see pediatric patients is important to ensure critical staff stays up-to-date on current treatment guidelines and protocols, and for maintenance of psychomotor skills necessary to care for this population of patients.
If I run the print to pdf on my local machine: Ctrl + P -> Microsoft Print to PDF I see my expected results:
• You indicated that maintenance of specialty certification for nurses IS NOT required of nurses staffing the ED.
IMPORTANCE: Credentialing for nursing staff who see pediatric patients is important to ensure critical staff stays up-to-date on current treatment guidelines and protocols, and for maintenance of psychomotor skills necessary to care for this population of patients.
Here is my code that populates my div.
