Cannot add headers & footers

[sumit0501]

Hello,
Header and Footer are not coming on docker alpine image. Tried both with htmlurl or with Right=text option. It is coming on .netcore 2.1 runtime image but not with alpine. please help.

If we continue from #28 you could add header and footer like that:

// set up the document
HtmlToPdfDocument doc = new HtmlToPdfDocument()
{
	GlobalSettings = {
		PaperSize = PaperKind.A4,
		Orientation = Orientation.Portrait,
		Margins = new MarginSettings() { Top = 10, Left = 10, Right = 10 },
	},
};

// add object settings to the document
foreach (var item in items)
{
	var page = new ObjectSettings()
	{
                // PagesCount must be true to use it on header and footer
		PagesCount = true,
                 // specifying HeaderSettings adds footer
		HeaderSettings = { Center = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), Line = new Random().Next(100) % 2 == 0, Right = "Page [page] of [toPage]" },
                // specifying FooterSettings adds footer
		FooterSettings = { Center = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), Line = new Random().Next(100) % 2 == 0, Right = "Page [page] of [toPage]" },
		WebSettings = { DefaultEncoding = "utf-8" },
		HtmlContent = item
	};
	doc.Objects.Add(page);
}

//convert
var pdf = _converter.Convert(doc);

PDF generated from code above.

Thanks for your quick reply but this does not work work me. I have a

• string with html content (really one, no list of items I can loop through). There is a lot of content so it covers multiple pages.
• one header
• one footer

So I need a method like this:

public MemoryStream GenerateDocument(string aLotOfContentWhichRequiresMultiplePages, string genericHeader, string genericfooter)
{
      // Implementation?
}

Thanks for clarifying what is your use case. wkhtmltopdf doesn't support HTML strings in Header or Footer settings. For more on this you can check #26 . Stakcoverflow question that you linked talks about print selector. wkhtmltopdf by defaults uses screen selector. You can change this with WebSettings.PrintMediaType=true.
