I would like to create dynamic PDF documents using HTML and dynamic images. My code works fine with standard HTML and full paths for the images, but when I try to embed the image inline in the document I get the error
Exception Details: System.IO.IOException: The document has no pages.
Is there a way to embed the images without an HTTP call per image? I don't want that because I think it will cause scalability issues and the images are sensitive.
Here is my code that gives the IOException:
public ActionResult MakePdf()
{
string html = @"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>

We need to write our own ImageTagProcessor to support processing of base 64 images:
public class CustomImageTagProcessor : iTextSharp.tool.xml.html.Image
{
public override IList<IElement> End(IWorkerContext ctx, Tag tag, IList<IElement> currentContent)
{
IDictionary<string, string> attributes = tag.Attributes;
string src;
if (!attributes.TryGetValue(HTML.Attribute.SRC, out src))
return new List<IElement>(1);
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(src))
return new List<IElement>(1);
if (src.StartsWith("data:image/", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
{
// data:[<MIME-type>][;charset=<encoding>][;base64],<data>
var base64Data = src.Substring(src.IndexOf(",") + 1);
var imagedata = Convert.FromBase64String(base64Data);
var image = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(imagedata);
var list = new List<IElement>();
var htmlPipelineContext = GetHtmlPipelineContext(ctx);
list.Add(GetCssAppliers().Apply(new Chunk((iTextSharp.text.Image)GetCssAppliers().Apply(image, tag, htmlPipelineContext), 0, 0, true), tag, htmlPipelineContext));
return list;
}
else
{
return base.End(ctx, tag, currentContent);
}
}
}
Then we can inject this new processor into the HtmlPipelineContext:
using (var doc = new Document(PageSize.A4))
{
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("test.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.Open();
var html = @"<img src='data:image/png;base64,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' width='62' height='80' style='float: left; margin-right: 28px;' />";
