Hello, i am sending the html code of a page to display it in a radeditor so i can export it to rtf or to pdf. However, i'm getting this error:

Invalid XHTML. RadEditor content should be correct XHTML in order to export to PDF.
Parse error:
Declaración DTD inesperada. Línea 674, posición 13.
at line:
<body><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

this is how my radeditor is defined:
<telerik:RadEditor ID="redCertificate" runat="server" Width="90%" Height="800px"
                Language="es-ES" onexportcontent="redCertificate_ExportContent">
                <exportsettings openinnewwindow="true" filename="Certificate">
                <Rtf PageHeader="RadEditor content" />
            </exportsettings>
                <content></content>
            </telerik:RadEditor>

and this is the code behind

protected void btnPDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            redCertificate.ExportToPdf();
        }

Any ideas what could be causing this error?

thanks in advance

Hi,

My suggestion is to start to remove content until you find which tag/class or style is causing the problem. You can find unsupported scenarios in the following help article: PDF Export, e.g.

Image transparency
Right-to-left fonts
Nested DIV elements with absolute position
Nested DIV elements with specified width or height
Automatic text clipping
Client-side binding
Medium trust

If you are unable to find the reason for the problem, please, provide the problematic content for examination on our end.

Hello,

There are no firm plans for this to be updated with the currently used PDF exporting functionality. In the feature a new PDF generator will be used, but there is no firm estimation when this will happen.

Currently, I can suggest extending the PDF exporting functionality by using a custom or third-party PDF library. You can refer to this blog post for further details on the matter - Using an external library for the export to PDF functionality in Telerik’s ASP.NET Editor.
