iTextSharp System.NullReferenceException

Question

I am trying to make a method to get the PDF bytes:

public static Byte[] HtmlToBytes(string htmlText)
    {
        Byte[] bytes;

        using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            using (var doc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10, 10, 10, 10))
            {
                using (var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, ms))
                {
                    writer.CloseStream = false;
                    doc.Open();
                    using (var msHtml = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(htmlText)))
                    {
                        XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().ParseXHtml(writer, doc, msHtml, Encoding.UTF8);
                    }
                }
            }
            bytes = ms.ToArray();
        }

        return bytes;
    }

But it gives out a NullReferenceException at this part

XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().ParseXHtml(writer, doc, msHtml, Encoding.UTF8);

On the string I am passing there is only plain html like a table and a tag.

Here`s the Stack Trace:

I have tried as fallows:

public static Byte[] HtmlToBytes(string htmlText)
    {
        Byte[] bytes;

        using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            using (var doc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10, 10, 10, 10))
            {
                using (var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, ms))
                {
                    writer.CloseStream = false;
                    doc.Open();
                    using (var msHtml = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(htmlText)))
                    {
                        XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().ParseXHtml(writer, doc, msHtml, Encoding.UTF8);
                    }
                }
            }
            bytes = ms.ToArray();
        }

        return bytes;
    }

    private static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var str = @"<!DOCTYPE html><html lang=""en"" xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml""><head><meta charset=""utf-8"" /><title></title></head><body><table border=""1"" style=""width:100%""><tr><td>Jill</td><td>Smith</td><td>50</td></tr><tr><td>Eve</td><td>Jackson</td><td>94</td></tr></table></body></html>";
        var s = HtmlToBytes(str);
        var str2 = @"<table border=""1"" style=""width:100%""><tr><td>Jill</td><td>Smith</td><td>50</td></tr><tr><td>Eve</td><td>Jackson</td><td>94</td></tr></table>";
        s = HtmlToBytes(str2);
        var str3 = @"<tabl=""width:100%""><tr><td>Jill</td><td>Smith</td><td>50</td></tr><tr><td>Eve</td><td>Jackson</td><td>94</td></tr></table>";
        s = HtmlToBytes(str3); //NULL HERE with corrupted html
    }

so the possible answere is, your HTML is corrupted
