Hi ,
I'm trying to create a template pdf with placeholders .So whenever a request comes I can render svg in a that placeholder for that user.
I have made SVG in html , before this i was using directly html to pdf so that was working fine for me. But now I am using template pdf I want to add html to specific placeholder and render that as html not as string.
Is there any way i can do it.??
Thanks in advance,
Naman Ahuja

NO...
Basically I have my own placeholder in pdf.I want to add html in that placeholder. As per my assumption it only accepts string.
Any way I can add HTML in that placeholder.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
You can't. This is what you can do with our product:
Render HTML into an existing PDF file at any location.
So for example, if you already know your place holder is at page 2 at location (x = 1, y = 1, w = 5, h = 2), then you can use our product to render HTML to that location. If the position is not known, then you should consider using HTML template and have the placeholders inside your HTML template.
Thanks

Hi, You would set the output area by setting HtmlToPdf.Options.OutputArea: http://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/4/htmltopdf/page_size.aspxThen call HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml/ConvertUrl that takes a PdfPage object. For example, you can use this ConvertHtml overload: http://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/4/eo.pdf.htmltopdf.converthtml_overload_3.aspxThanks!

Yes. Please take a look of the HtmlToPdfResult object returned by ConvertHtml/ConvertUrl.

Hi,
You will need to read what's already there first. We are happy to guide you towards the solution, but we don't do your work. So you have to put some effort first. Without any effort from your side, we would be basically doing your job. We do not do that. Hope you understand.
Thanks!
