Hi,
I am creating POC for converting html contents to PDF through pdfTron, but unfortunately I am receiving a console error saying Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘split’). I am not able figure out what is the issue.
sharing the code here,

convertHtmlToPdf(elementId: string): void {
console.log("ViewInstance: ", this.viewerInstance)
let htmlString = document.getElementById(elementId);
this.viewerInstance.Core.createDocument(htmlString, {
extension: ‘pdf’,
}).then((doc: any) => {
console.log(‘hit’)
doc.getPDFBuffer().then((buffer: ArrayBuffer) => {
const blob = new Blob([buffer], { type: ‘application/pdf’ });
const link = document.createElement(‘a’);
link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
link.download = ‘output.pdf’;
link.click();
});
});
}

FYI instance has been created successfully. Please provide a quick suggestion on this issue.

Q: are we able to convert html string to pdf using this package ?

Hello @marafath368,

Thank you for contacting WebViewer support.

If you have not already, please see our guide on converting HTML to PDF here: Convert-html | Apryse Documentation

This will include options for converting HTML using our Windows / Linux SDKs.

If you are still experiencing issues, feel free to provide the following:

  1. Source HTML file used for testing
  2. Screenshot of any errors in the console as well as any failed network logs
  3. Steps to reproduce the issue

Hello @marafath368,

Thank you for the update.

createDocument() is not able to convert HTML to a PDF directly. You can find the API doc here for approved types: Apryse WebViewer Namespace: Core

If you would like to convert HTML to PDF, please see our guides here for how to do so: Html | Apryse Documentation

Additionally, we have some sample code you can reference here: Samples | Apryse Documentation

Let me know if this works for you.
