in the process of modernizing a pdf generating web app I noticed a lot of empty pdf pages where added after the end of the html content in the pdf. After some trial and error it looked like it had something to do with the html page which is utilizing a (default) bootstrap 5.0.2 min css file.

When I disable the bootstrap style sheet in the html page, or simply use bootstrap 4.6, NO empty pdf pages are added at the end and all looks fine after calling HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl

I'm using EO dll versions 21.0.32.0

Any ideas?

Hi,

Have you tried the latest build? We tested the latest build with some bootstrap 5 sample sites and we do not see such problems.

Thanks!

when I use version 21.1.93 the problem is still there.
So I checked for an older version from a past project and used 18.0.23.0 and used the old license key.
All looks oke with version 18.0.23.0.

So I started to strip all html until the problem was gone and began adding styling again.
I think I eliminated all possible other influences in the html and this is my conclusion:

EO version 21.0.32.0 / html BS 5.x / table with class "table" = problem
EO version 21.0.32.0 / html BS 4.6 / table with class "table" = OK

EO version 21.1.93.0 / html BS 5.x / table with class "table" = problem
EO version 21.1.93.0 / html BS 4.6 / table with class "table" = OK

EO version 18.0.23.0 / html BS 5.x / table with class "table" = OK
EO version 18.0.23.0 / html BS 4.6 / table with class "table" = OK


So a simple 1 page pdf for a html page with a table with class table returns a 16 page pdf.
page 1 displays the table and 15 empty pages are added extra.

I don't think there is any need for a sample project, I've mailed a simple url to support@ in regard to this issue

Hi,

We have looked into the test page you sent to us and found out the root of the problem. This will be fixed in our next build and it should come out either this week or next week.
