Convert from html string to pdf using itextsharp in asp.net

Question

I'm using iTextSharp in my project and using this method to parse html string to pdf

public static MemoryStream MakePdf(string htmlCode)
        {
            MemoryStream msOutput = new MemoryStream();
            TextReader reader = new StringReader(htmlCode);

            Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 30, 30, 30, 30);
            PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, msOutput);
            HTMLWorker worker = new HTMLWorker(document);
            document.Open();
            worker.StartDocument();
            worker.Parse(reader); // EXCEPTION IN THIS LINE!!!!
            worker.EndDocument();
            worker.Close();
            document.Close();

            return msOutput;
        }

And it doesn't work for me. It throws an exception at selected line

URI formats are not supported.

How can I solve this problem?

To solve this issue you can add Providers to your HTMLWorker using the SetProviders method which takes an IDictionary the HTMLWorker class has constants for the string keys. In your case have a look at the ILinkProvider and/or IImageProvider. These provide a way to handle the images and URLs inside of your HTML yourself, translating them into usable parts for the PDF.
