What's New in AspPDF 1.7

The HTML-to-PDF functionality of the ImportFromUrl method has been significantly improved during the last few months. New features include:

• Support for CSS when applied to "block" tags such as <P>, <UL>, <LI>, <BLOCKQUOTE> and others. Previous versions treated these tags as mere paragraph separators and indentors.
• Improved table rendering.
• Support for form elements such as <INPUT>, <TEXTAREA> and <SELECT>. Previous versions ignored them altogether.
• Optional support for hyperlinks via a new Hyperlinks=true parameter. Previous versions ignored the <A> tag.
• Background color for individual text elements can be set. Previous versions only allowed background color to be set for an entire table or cell.
• Partial support for the position: absolute CSS property. The left and top position properties are supported while bottom and right are still ignored.
• Selective recognition of style sheets according to their MEDIA attribute. The new Media parameter specifies which style sheets to read and which to ignore. Read more about it here.
• Support for display: none CSS property.
• Support for document zoom-in and zoom-out via the Scale parameter.
• Minor bugs fixed.
