So I've been trying to use the RadEditor to export content to PDF but I've had very mixed results on what HTML can be added.
I've been reading HTML from another source and then adding it to the content:
RadEditor.Content = stringOfHTML
Here's the HTML I've been using for my content:
If I just add this line it renders in the PDF:
But adding any additional lines causes the PDF to open blank?
I've seen older posts where <Table> can't be used because it needs Colgroup and col or something but that was from 2009?
Do I need to add the content as a specific mode or something?

Hi Jay
The PDF converter that RadEditor uses could export only the content inside the BODY tags but not full HTML page content.
This means that you need to strip the DOCTYPE, <html>, <head> and <body> tags before exporting the content to PDF.
As a workaround check the following KB article for more information on converting RadEditor HTML to PDF Format
