I have colleagues working on a .NET 1.1 project, where they obtain XML files from an external party and programmatically instruct iTextSharp to generate PDF content based on the XML data. The tricky part is, within this XML are segments of arbitrary HTML content. These are HTML code users copied and pasted from their Office applications. Still looks ok on a web browser, but when this HTML is fed into iTextSharp's HTMLWorker object to parse and convert into PDF objects, the formatting and alignment run all over the place in the generated PDF document. E.g. <pre><code> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="636" class="MsoNormalTable" style="margin: auto auto auto 4.65pt; width: 477pt; border-collapse: collapse"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 15.75pt"> <td width="468" valign="bottom" style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; padding-bottom: 0in; width: 351pt; padding-top: 0in; height: 15.75pt; background-color: transparent; border: #ece9d8"> &nbsp; </td> <td colspan="3" width="168" valign="bottom" style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; padding-bottom: 0in; width: 1.75in; padding-top: 0in; height: 15.75pt; background-color: transparent; border: #ece9d8"> Group </td> </tr> </code></pre> The tags are full of Style attributes, and iTextSharp does not support CSS and interpreting that attribute. What are some alternatives other iTextSharp users have tried to workaround this, or other feasible HTML-to-PDF components?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
