ExportTextBoxAsSvg

HtmlSaveOptions.ExportTextBoxAsSvg property

Controls whether Shape nodes that represent text boxes are converted to SVG images when saving to HTML, MHTML or EPUB. Default value is false.

public bool ExportTextBoxAsSvg { get; set; }

Remarks

If this option is set to true, text boxes are exported as <svg> elements. Otherwise, they are rendered to bitmaps and are exported as <img> elements.

Note that if ExportShapesAsSvg is set to true, text boxes will be exported as SVG even if this property is set to false.

Examples

Shows how to export text boxes as scalable vector graphics.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Shape textBox = builder.InsertShape(ShapeType.TextBox, 100.0, 60.0);
builder.MoveTo(textBox.FirstParagraph);
builder.Write("My text box");

// When we save the document to HTML, we can pass a SaveOptions object
// to determine how the saving operation will export text box shapes.
// If we set the "ExportTextBoxAsSvg" flag to "true",
// the save operation will convert shapes with text into SVG objects.
// If we set the "ExportTextBoxAsSvg" flag to "false",
// the save operation will convert shapes with text into images.
HtmlSaveOptions options = new HtmlSaveOptions { ExportTextBoxAsSvg = exportTextBoxAsSvg };

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "HtmlSaveOptions.ExportTextBox.html", options);

string outDocContents = File.ReadAllText(ArtifactsDir + "HtmlSaveOptions.ExportTextBox.html");

if (exportTextBoxAsSvg)
{
    Assert.True(outDocContents.Contains(
        "<span style=\"-aw-left-pos:0pt; -aw-rel-hpos:column; -aw-rel-vpos:paragraph; -aw-top-pos:0pt; -aw-wrap-type:inline\">" +
        "<svg xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\" version=\"1.1\" width=\"133\" height=\"80\">"));
}
else
{
    Assert.True(outDocContents.Contains(
        "<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt\">" +
            "<img src=\"HtmlSaveOptions.ExportTextBox.001.png\" width=\"136\" height=\"83\" alt=\"\" " +
            "style=\"-aw-left-pos:0pt; -aw-rel-hpos:column; -aw-rel-vpos:paragraph; -aw-top-pos:0pt; -aw-wrap-type:inline\" />" +
        "</p>"));
