Question: My HTML is loading a WebFont, why is the font not embedded in my output file when converting HTML to PDF?

Answer: Normally the HTML2PDF module will start printing as soon as the page load event has been fired, in some cases executing JavaScript or loading Web fonts have not completed by then. You will need to instruct the module to wait for them by setting the JavaScript delay to allow it to load.

HTML2PDF.SetModulePath(html2pdf_module_path);
try
{
	using (PDFDoc html_doc = new PDFDoc())
	{
		using (HTML2PDF converter = new HTML2PDF())
		{
			HTML2PDF.WebPageSettings settings = new HTML2PDF.WebPageSettings();
			
			settings.SetJavaScriptDelay(miliseconds_to_delay);

			converter.InsertFromURL(url, settings);
			bool isConverted = converter.Convert(html_doc);
			if (isConverted)
			{				
				html_doc.Save(output_file, SDFDoc.SaveOptions.e_linearized);
			}
			else
			{
				throw new Exception(converter.GetLog());
			}
		}
	}
}
catch (PDFNetException e)
{
}
