I'm trying to read images locally using the file:// protocol. It works but with one oddity. I'm wondering if this is a known issue.
Here is my C# code:
My image is located in C:\Images\Medical.
Note the comments around SetBaseURL:
// this works
p.SetBaseURL(@"file://C:/Images/Images/");
// this does not
//p.SetBaseURL(@"file://C:/Images/");
Furthermore, for the one I would expect to work where I set the base URL to C:\Images I get this in the log file:
Fri Aug 6 07:47:50 2010: C:\Medical\n1404.jpg: warning: can't open input file: No such file or directory
It seems to be dropping the last directory passed into SetBaseURL. Removing the trailing slash makes no difference.
So, I can work around this but am I doing something wrong?
thx...Adrian.
Here is my C# code:
var p = new Prince(@"C:\Utils\PrinceEngine\bin\Prince.exe");
p.SetLog(@"C:\_temp\PrinceTempFiles\princelog.txt");
p.SetHTML(true);
// this works
p.SetBaseURL(@"file://C:/Images/Images/");
// this does not
//p.SetBaseURL(@"file://C:/Images/");
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
doc.LoadXml("<html><head></head><body><h1>Image here</h1><img src='Medical/n1404.jpg' /></body></html>");
FileStream outFile = new FileStream(@"C:\_temp\PrinceTempFiles\outfile.pdf", FileMode.Create);
if (p.ConvertString(doc.OuterXml, outFile) == true)
{
outFile.Flush();
outFile.Close();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\_temp\PrinceTempFiles\outfile.pdf");
}
My image is located in C:\Images\Medical.
