html - iTextSharp HTML 到 PDF 保留空间

Question

我正在使用 FreeTextBox.dll 获取用户输入，并将该信息以 HTML 格式存储在数据库中。用户输入的示例如下:

I want the HTMLWorker to perserve the white spaces the users enters, but it strips it out. Is there a way to perserve the user's white space? Below is an example of how I am creating my PDF document.

Public Shared Sub CreatePreviewPDF(ByVal vsHTML As String, ByVal vsFileName As String)

        Dim output As New MemoryStream()
        Dim oDocument As New Document(PageSize.LETTER)
        Dim writer As PdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(oDocument, output)
        Dim oFont As New Font(Font.FontFamily.TIMES_ROMAN, 8, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK)

        Using output
            Using writer
                Using oDocument
                    oDocument.Open()
                    Using sr As New StringReader(vsHTML)
                        Using worker As New html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker(oDocument)

                            worker.StartDocument()
                            worker.SetInsidePRE(True)
                            worker.Parse(sr)
                            worker.EndDocument()
                            worker.Close()
                            oDocument.Close()

                        End Using
                    End Using

                    HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", String.Format("attachment;filename={0}.pdf", vsFileName))
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(output.ToArray())
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.End()

                End Using
            End Using
            output.Close()
        End Using


    End Sub

iText 和 iTextSharp 中有一个小故障，但如果您不介意下载源代码并重新编译它，您可以很容易地修复它。您需要更改两个文件。我所做的任何更改都在代码中内嵌注释。行号基于 5.1.2.0 代码修订版 240

第一个在 iTextSharp.text.html.HtmlUtilities.cs 中。在第 249 行查找函数 EliminateWhiteSpace 并将其更改为:

    public static String EliminateWhiteSpace(String content) {
        // multiple spaces are reduced to one,
        // newlines are treated as spaces,
        // tabs, carriage returns are ignored.
        StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
        int len = content.Length;
        char character;
        bool newline = false;
        bool space = false;//Detect whether we have written at least one space already
        for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
            switch (character = content[i]) {
            case ' ':
                if (!newline && !space) {//If we are not at a new line AND ALSO did not just append a space
                    buf.Append(character);
                    space = true;  //flag that we just wrote a space
                }
                break;
            case '\n':
                if (i > 0) {
                    newline = true;
                    buf.Append(' ');
                }
                break;
            case '\r':
                break;
            case '\t':
                break;
            default:
                newline = false;
                space = false;  //reset flag
                buf.Append(character);
                break;
            }
        }
        return buf.ToString();
    }

第二个更改在 iTextSharp.text.xml.simpleparser.SimpleXMLParser.cs 中。在第 185 行的 Go 函数中，将第 248 行更改为:

if (html /*&& nowhite*/) {//removed the nowhite check from here because that should be handled by the HTML parser later, not the XML parser
