    Hi,
    I am using RadEditor control on my web page. I'm using HTML file as a template to fill in sections of data from database and then display data to user in Editor. I want to allow user to save this data as PDF file but unfortunately, I'm having trouble to save this data to export to PDF file using ExportToPdf() method of RadEditor.

    Here is a Code:
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
        </telerik:RadScriptManager>
        <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
            <tr>
                <td>
                 <telerik:RadEditor ID="fileEditor" ContentFilters="DefaultFilters,PdfExportFilter" Height="500" 
                            Width="685" runat="server" ToolsFile="~/HtmlEditorTools.xml" OnExportContent="fileEditor_ExportContent" >
                        <ExportSettings FileName="abc" OpenInNewWindow="true"></ExportSettings>
                    </telerik:RadEditor>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <asp:Button ID="btnSavePDF" runat="server" Text="Save As PDF" OnClick="btnSavePDF_Click" />
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        </form>

    code behind:
     
    protected void btnSavePDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    fileEditor.ExportToPdf();
    }

    HTML Template:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <head>
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Product Service Detail</h1>
        Hi [%=Customer.FirstName%] [%=Customer.LastName%],
            <br />
            I hope you are fine.
            <br />
          Please Note Your Product Services:
        <br />
        [%=ProductServices%]
             
            Thanks,
            <br />
            Best Regards,
            <br />
            [%=ProductManager.FullName%]
             
    </body>
    </html>

    In my code, I fill the data from the database for the sections [%=.....%]. While calling method ExportToPdf() I gets this exception:
    Invalid XHTML. RadEditor content should be correct XHTML in order to export to PDF. Parse error: Unexpected DTD declaration. Line 674, position 13. at line: <body><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    Any help for this ?

    Thanks

    Hi Shinu,

    Thanks for your reply. I have implemented my code following this demo.
    Please copy/paste my HTML to the oneline demo and you will get error.
    I think a problem is a first line of HTML which is a
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


    You may observe the exception I've provided in original post. Any other Idea for this ??

    Thanks

    Hi Tejas,

    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.
