Five examples to convert HTML to RTF in C# and VB.Net
1. Simple conversion of HTML file to RTF file in C#:
SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf h = new SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf();
string htmlFile = @"d:\Resurrection.html";
string rtfFile = Path.ChangeExtension(htmlFile, ".rtf");
h.ConvertFile(htmlFile, rtfFile);
2. Convert HTML to RTF in memory using C#; Set page size to Letter/Landscape, add page numbers:
SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf h = new SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf();
string htmlFile = @"d:\Resurrection.html";
string htmlString = File.ReadAllText(htmlFile);
// Let's set some page options.
h.PageStyle.PageSize.Letter();
h.PageStyle.PageOrientation.Landscape();
h.PageStyle.PageNumbers.Format = "Page {page} of {numpages}";
h.PageStyle.PageNumbers.AlignH = SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf.eAlign.Center;
h.PageStyle.PageNumbers.AlignV = SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf.eAlign.Bottom;
// Start the conversion.
string rtfString = h.ConvertString(htmlString);
3. Convert HTML to RTF in memory using VB.Net; Set page size to Letter/Landscape, add page numbers:
Dim h As New SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf()
Dim htmlFile As String = "d:\Resurrection.html"
Dim htmlString As String = File.ReadAllText(htmlFile)
' Let's set some page options.
h.PageStyle.PageSize.Letter()
h.PageStyle.PageOrientation.Landscape()
h.PageStyle.PageNumbers.Format = "Page {page} of {numpages}"
h.PageStyle.PageNumbers.AlignH = SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf.eAlign.Center
h.PageStyle.PageNumbers.AlignV = SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf.eAlign.Bottom
' Start the conversion.
Dim rtfString As String = h.ConvertString(htmlString)
4. Convert HTML to RTF in C#; Add a custom page header from HTML, add footer from another RTF:
SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf h = new HtmlToRtf();
string htmlPath = @"d:\The Living.html";
string rtfPath = Path.ChangeExtension(htmlPath, ".rtf");
// Add a header from HTML string.
h.PageStyle.PageHeader.Html("This is a bold italic line.");
// Add a footer from RTF file.
h.PageStyle.PageFooter.FromRtfFile(@"d:\footer.rtf");
// Make the conversion of HTML to RTF.
h.ConvertFile(htmlPath, rtfPath);
5. Convert HTML to RTF and extract all images from HTML (local, remote, even embedded within base-64) in C#:
SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf h = new HtmlToRtf();
string htmlPath = @"d:\Fathers and Sons.html";
string htmlString = File.ReadAllText(htmlPath);
string rtfPath = Path.ChangeExtension(htmlPath, ".rtf");
List<HtmlToRtf.SautinImage> imgList = new List<HtmlToRtf.SautinImage>();
h.BaseURL = @"d:\";
// Convert HTML to and place all images inside imgList.
h.ConvertString(htmlString, imgList);
// Save all images to HDD.
foreach (HtmlToRtf.SautinImage img in imgList)
{
img.Img.Save(String.Format(@"d:\{0}.png", img.Cid));
}
