nyg / htmlwithimagestopdf Goto Github PK

Hello,

I have a few apps that use UIWebView to show html content which was then converted into a PDF, then emailed. Ive recently decided to convert any UIWebViews to WKWebView due to the former's deprecation. I only use base64 encoded images in my templates but I also noticed that this change from UI.. to WK.. does not render images in the PDF properly anymore.

I stumbled upon this repo in my google adventure for a fix and thought I'd give it a spin. However I did notice one thing: The pdf creation only properly shows images if the UIWebView is still present and rendering the content also (which it is in this example).

Following the steps from the [readme]:(https://github.com/nyg/HTMLWithImagesToPDF/blob/master/README.md#bug)

A direct clone with no changes yields the following (https://github.com/hiimtmac/HTMLWithImagesToPDF/tree/master):

Everything works nicely!

However, a different branch where I removed the UIWebView yields the following (https://github.com/hiimtmac/HTMLWithImagesToPDF/tree/removing-uiwebview):

In this case, the lack of UIWebView seems to result in images no longer rendering properly. Its like the fact the images got run through the UIWebView allows it to be properly rendered in a pdf. So I'm scratching my head for a solution!

Do you have any other ideas how to get images to render properly with WKWebView html content -> PDF??? Or also let me know if I've made some colossal mistake on my end and its something im doing wrong!
