Question

Is it possible to add document JavaScripts to a generated PDF using ABCPdf?

Answer 1

If you mean, Javascript that is being executed after the document has been loaded, then have a look at this documentation page.

doc.HtmlOptions.UseScript = true;
doc.HtmlOptions.GeckoSubset.OnLoadScript =
@"(function() {
   window.ABCpdf_go = false;

   // your javascript code here

   window.ABCpdf_go = true;
})();";

Wahoo

Been trying to render google charts with ABc.pdf for quite a while, and this made it work. Thanks! – Mcgannon

Answer 2

I think you should be able to. There are some settings in the c# which will help.

You need to set the

doc.HtmlOptions.UseScript = true; 

this will enable javascript to run.

it's probably worth setting the timeout to give it more time to finish loading

doc.HtmlOptions.Timeout = 10000;

and i've always had better results with the gecko rendering engine

doc.HtmlOptions.Engine = EngineType.Gecko;
