ITextSharp v5.5.13.0 XMLWorker Turkish character problem - itext

Question

I used iTextSharp and all Turkish character disappeared.
Also html inline css attributes work on table element but not working on div element.
I tried lots of encoding convert sample code but not found any results.
My sample code:
public static byte[] HtmlToPdfItextSharp(string HTMLCONTENTSTRING, List<string> cssFiles = null)
{
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate(), 10, 10, 10, 10);
BaseFont STF_Helvetica_Turkish = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN, "CP1254", BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
Font fontNormal = new Font(STF_Helvetica_Turkish, 12, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK);
string fontPath = Path.Combine(Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Pdf/arial.ttf")));
XMLWorkerFontProvider fontProvider = new XMLWorkerFontProvider(XMLWorkerFontProvider.DONTLOOKFORFONTS);
fontProvider.UseUnicode = true;
fontProvider.Register(fontPath);
CssAppliers ca = new CssAppliersImpl(fontProvider);
var pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, ms);
pdfDoc.Open();
pdfWriter.DirectContent.SetFontAndSize(STF_Helvetica_Turkish, 12);
pdfWriter.CloseStream = false;
var htmlContext = new HtmlPipelineContext(null);
htmlContext.SetTagFactory(Tags.GetHtmlTagProcessorFactory());
ICSSResolver cssResolver = XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().GetDefaultCssResolver(false);
cssFiles.ForEach(e => cssResolver.AddCssFile(e, true));
var pp = new PdfWriterPipeline(pdfDoc, pdfWriter);
IPipeline pipeline = new CssResolverPipeline(cssResolver, new HtmlPipeline(htmlContext, pp));
XMLWorker worker = new XMLWorker(pipeline, true);
XMLParser parser = new XMLParser(worker);
parser.Parse(new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(HTMLCONTENTSTRING)));
pdfDoc.Close();
return ms.GetBuffer();
}
}

Answer 1

I updated my code and add stylesheet file (with font familiy:arial;) and i solved character
but it takes too long time
My new updated function like:
public static byte[] HtmlToPdfItextSharp(string HTMLCONTENTSTRING, List<string> cssFiles = null)
{
using (var ms= new MemoryStream())
{
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate(), 10, 10, 7, 10);
var pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, ms);
pdfWriter.CloseStream = false;
pdfDoc.Open();
var htmlContext = new HtmlPipelineContext(null);
htmlContext.SetTagFactory(Tags.GetHtmlTagProcessorFactory());
ICSSResolver cssResolver = XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().GetDefaultCssResolver(false);
cssFiles.ForEach(e => cssResolver.AddCssFile(e, true));
var pp = new PdfWriterPipeline(pdfDoc, pdfWriter);
IPipeline pipeline = new CssResolverPipeline(cssResolver, new HtmlPipeline(htmlContext, pp));
XMLWorker worker = new XMLWorker(pipeline, true);
XMLParser parser = new XMLParser(worker);
parser.Parse(new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(pHtmlIcerik)));
pdfDoc.Close();
return ms.ToArray();
}
}
Css code :
body {
font-family:Arial;
}
table{
font-family:Arial;
}
td{
font-family:Arial;
}
