Conver itext7 PdfDocument to byte array in c#

I am using itext7 pdfhtml (4.0.3) to convert Html to pdf in memory. Below method is taking html in memory and returning PdfDocument object of itext7. I need to convert that PdfDocument object to byte array or stream.
Please let me know how we can achieve that.
private iText.Kernel.Pdf.PdfDocument CreatePdf( string html)
{
byte[] bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(html);
ConverterProperties properties = new ConverterProperties();
properties.SetBaseUri(path);
MemoryStream myMemoryStream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
PdfWriter writer = new(myMemoryStream);
iText.Kernel.Pdf.PdfDocument pdf = new iText.Kernel.Pdf.PdfDocument(writer);
pdf.SetDefaultPageSize(PageSize.A4);
pdf.SetTagged();
HtmlConverter.ConvertToDocument(html,pdf,properties);
return pdf;
}

to #mkl's point, you're kind of overdoing it. Here's a simple example:
var html = "<h1>hi mom</h1>";
byte[] result;
using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
var pdf = new PdfDocument(new PdfWriter(memoryStream));
pdf.SetDefaultPageSize(PageSize.A4);
pdf.SetTagged();
HtmlConverter.ConvertToPdf(html, pdf, new ConverterProperties());
result = memoryStream.ToArray();
}
File.WriteAllBytes(#"/tmp/file.pdf", result);
the memoryStream will have your in memory representation of your conversion. I've added the WriteAllBytes bits just so you can see for yourself.
Another note, if you do not require setting any PdfDocument properties, you can use an even simpler version:
var html = "<h1>hi mom</h1>";
byte[] result;
using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
HtmlConverter.ConvertToPdf(html, memoryStream);
result = memoryStream.ToArray();
}
File.WriteAllBytes(#"/tmp/file.pdf", result);

Inline stylesheet is not working when I convert HTML string to PDF using iText 5 .NET

I have a problem here while converting an HTML string to pdf using iText 5 .NET and attaching the pdf byte array to mail attachment.
I am able to complete the above task without styling the table, means a mail will be triggered with pdf attached without css styles like below link
but the expected pdf table be like below link
![Img of Expected pdf][2]
I have used inline styles dynamically so, is there a way that I can get the expected result pdf with styles?
Below code is been used to convert the html string to pdf byte array
public static byte[] HtmlToPdf(string sb) //here sb is the HTML string with inline styles
{
byte[] bytes;
StringReader sr = new StringReader(sb.ToString());
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4_LANDSCAPE, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, memoryStream);
pdfDoc.Open();
htmlparser.Parse(new StringReader(sb));
pdfDoc.Close();
bytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
memoryStream.Close();
}
return bytes;
}
the byte used as an attachment in mail functionality

iTextSharp image not showing in aws lambda for c#

I'm adding an image to a iTextSharp pdf in this way:
iTextSharp.text.Document doc = new iTextSharp.text.Document(PageSize.A4, 0F,0F, 0F, 0F);
iTextSharp.text.Image img = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/foo/bar.png");
img.ScaleToFit(595, 120);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, ms);
doc.Open();
doc.Add(img);
doc.Close();
Then I convert it to byte[] and then to base64 string, so it can be handled by AWS API Gateway.
byte[] pdf = ms.ToArray();
var headersDic = new Dictionary<string, string>();
headersDic.Add("Content-type", "application/pdf");
headersDic.Add("Content-disposition", "inline;filename=file.pdf");
return new APIGatewayProxyResponse
{
Body = Convert.ToBase64String(pdf),
IsBase64Encoded = true,
Headers = headersDic,
StatusCode = 200
};
But the image is not shown in the pdf, just an almost indistinguishable part of it, which is the line you can see here:
Any ideas? maybe the conversions to byte[] or base64 and to binary again are giving problems?
When I add text everything goes good.

CSS styles are missing when I convert a HTML page to PDF using ITextSharp

I have a html page with Inline styles, containing few </br> tags and div tags also two tables,
I am usinh ITextSharp-5 version.
I have converted my HTML page to PDf using ItextSharp. The problem here is, the final PDF document which is converted is not having the exact style of HTML page . Below is my code for conversion.
var htmlFile = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Templates/GIPConversion.HTML"));
StringReader sr = new StringReader(htmlFile.ToString());
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, memoryStream);
pdfDoc.Open();
htmlparser.Parse(sr);
pdfDoc.Close();
bytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
memoryStream.Close();
}
Please let me know If I am missing anything while conversion, My final output should be same as my HTML page.
Thanks .

Html to PDf conversion unicode character rendering as empty

I am converting some html into pdf using itext sharp. First i have filled out some html string into String Writer then using below mentioned code to converty byte array into pdf
Problem is unicode character [arabic in specific] is rendering empty.
My code is
var sw = new StringWriter();
sw = GetHtmlContent();// here i fetch html
byte[] data;
using (var sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString()))
{
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var pdfDoc = new Document())
{
//Bind a parser to our PDF document
using (var htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc))
{
//Bind the writer to our document and our final stream
using (var w = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, ms))
{
pdfDoc.Open();
//Parse the HTML directly into the document
htmlparser.Parse(sr);
pdfDoc.Close();
//Grab the bytes from the stream before closing it
data = ms.ToArray();
}
}
}
}
}
Response.Buffer = false;
Response.Clear();
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Test.pdf");
Response.BinaryWrite(data);
Response.End();
Please help me what's wrong in it

Check below steps to display unicode characters in converting Html to Pdf
Create a HTMLWorker
Register a unicode font and assign it
Create a style sheet and set the encoding to Identity-H
Assign the style sheet to the html parser
Check below code
TextReader reader = new StringReader(html);
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 30, 30, 30, 30);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(FileName, FileMode.Create));
HTMLWorker worker = new HTMLWorker(document);
document.Open();
FontFactory.Register("C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\ARIALUNI.TTF", "arial unicode ms");
iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.StyleSheet ST = new iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.StyleSheet();
ST.LoadTagStyle("body", "encoding", "Identity-H");
worker.Style = ST;
worker.StartDocument();
