Question

I m dynamically creating a PDF using ABCpdf (HTML -> PDF)

I m trying to create a Table Of Contents (with leaders), and I think the easiest way to get the leaders is using a repeat-x background-image. Here is my file structure:

/Web
   GenReport.aspx
   /images
      tocback.gif
/Data
   template.html

GenReport uses an html template, and replaces all applicable sections when generating the pdf. The styles also live in template.html.

Everything is working, except that the image isn t being found (If I use a direct path to another image on the web, I can get the image to appear in the background of the table.)

So, my question is, how do I reference the tocback.gif? Does it need to reference the path from the template (/Data/template.html - see (1) below) or from the page that generates the pdf (/Web/GenReport.aspx (2) below)?

(1) background-image: url(/images/tocback.gif);
(2) background-image: url(../Web/images/tocback.gif);

Obviously, neither of these are working for me. Am I missing something?

(I wouldn t even mind adding a hard-coded reference to an image on the FS, if that is an option.)

Answer 2

You can t get that image rendered into the pdf. Add a new page, render your html into that page.pass that page url to AddImageUrl() method to generate pdf successfully.

find sample code for this in abcpdf helpline.
