In hdpdf.Value i am fetching all html text..

VB

Gap between words is not space in words (which does not exist by definition of a word).

Solution 1

As your code says you are trying to convert the html text into the pdf text. While getting the text from html you are not trimming it. That's why the spaces between text is also getting written in the pdf. Try to trim your html text using Trim() function then you'll not get any problem of spacing like this.

Thanks for reply
But its not done
I am appending html text in stringbuilder as follows

strtbl.AppendLine("<div id='divrpt' style='font-size:10px;height:5px;width:100%;'>")
strtbl.AppendLine("<table id='tblrptshow' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' align='center' style='auto;width:99%;border-right:#E5E5E5 1px solid;border-top:#E5E5E5 1px solid;border-bottom:#E5E5E5 1px solid;border-left:#E5E5E5 1px solid' >")
'strtbl.AppendLine("<div id='divrpt' style='height:5px;width:100%;'>")
'strtbl.Append("<div id='divrpt' style='height:5px;width:100%;position:relative;top:20px'>")
'strtbl.AppendLine("<table id='tblrpt' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' align='center' style='auto;width:99%;border-right:#E5E5E5 1px solid;border-top:#E5E5E5 1px solid;border-bottom:#E5E5E5 1px solid;border-left:#E5E5E5 1px solid' >")
'strtbl.AppendLine("<table id='tblrpt' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' align='center' width='98%' style='border-top:#E5E5E5 1px solid' >")
strtbl.AppendLine("<tr><td colspan=7 ><br/></td></tr>")
strtbl.AppendLine("<tr><td colspan=7 ><br/></td></tr>")
strtbl.AppendLine("<tr><td colspan=7 ><br/></td></tr>")
...................

And finally i take all string in hiddenfield as

hdpdf.Value = strtbl.ToString().Trim//changed as you suggest

but no any effect
