Hello,
Is there a way to use Telerik Reporting to convert HTML to PDF and/or RTF? We're using other Telerik tools - like the Editor in asp mvc - which produce nice HTML, but now we need to output that content to a printable format. abcPDF comes to mind, but we'd prefer to use our existing Telerik tools.
Thanks!
Chris

Hi Christopher Ronak,
Telerik Reporting (TR) is a server solution, which is intended to process and render data, rather than text (be it plain text or richly-formatted text). TR supports several export formats (one of which HTML), but they are all geared towards exporting tabular data and charts, rather than richly-formatted text.
Only a limited list of tags and styles are supported by the Telerik Reporting HTMLTextBox item. Check out HtmlTextBox item help article, you will find the list of supported html tags and style attributes. As stated in the same article, the purpose of the HtmlTextBox item is to allow rendering of formatted text using HTML - it is not intended to cover the whole HTML/CSS specification. The item may be referred to as a TextBox with the capability to render differently formatted chunks of text.
All the best,
Peter
