Hi
I am trying to export the html content below to PDF format via the RadEditor:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><html><head><META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-16"><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"><title>INTELLIGENCE SERVICES CONTROL ACT NO. 40 OF 1994</title><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/templates/BWCommon.css"><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/mylnb/SiteCommon.css"><script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/vendor/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/links.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/popup.js?2"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/hoverbox.js?2"></script></head><body><p class="Generator-Heading" style="text-align:center">To browse use the Table of Contents on the left or the links provided below.</p><p><br></p><p class="Generator-Heading">Contents</p><p class="Generator-Item" style="margin-left:15pt"><a href="../../../jilc">Legislation - South Africa - National</a></p><p class="Generator-Item" style="margin-left:30pt"><a href="../../kilc">Acts and Regulations</a></p><p class="Generator-Item" style="margin-left:45pt"><a href="../alrg">I</a></p><p class="Generator-Item" style="margin-left:45pt;color:#00267F;margin-top:12pt"><b> <img style="border:0" width="8" height="9" src="/templates/arrows.gif" alt=""> INTELLIGENCE SERVICES CONTROL ACT NO. 40 OF 1994</b></p><p><br><br></p><p><br><br></p></body></html>
But this fails with the following exception :
Exception Details: System.Xml.XmlException: Invalid XHTML. RadEditor content should be correct XHTML in order to export to PDF.
What encoding does the XHTML validation use? And can it be set somewhere?
Thanks.

Hello,
The Export to PDF feature of RadEditor cannot be applied when editing full HTML - thus the content cannot contain <html>, <head>, <body> tags. This is a limitation of the ExportToPdf third party tool that RadEditor uses to export its content to PDF.
Note that the content that you export from RadEditor should be a valid XHTML (it doesn't matter whether the XHTML standard is Strict or Transitional). If it is not, you will receive an exception that the export cannot be completed: screenshot.
You can check the markup using the built-in W3C validator dialog of RadEditor or at http://validator.w3.org/check. Make sure that the ConvertToXhtml and PdfExportFilter content filters are enabled, e.g.
<telerik:RadEditor id="RadEditor1" ContentFilters="DefaultFilters,PdfExportFilter" Runat="server"
