HTML support in GdPicture.NET

A browser is required to support HTML content as input into the whole toolkit scope.
Our HTML support currently uses Chrome's rendering engine to display your document with the highest accuracy, whether Chrome is installed on the machine or not.

If Chrome is already installed on your machine, no action on your part is necessary.

If it’s not the case, you have two choices:

1. Install Google Chrome Portable in the installation folder. You can download Google Chrome Portable here.

2. Set the path of the chrome.exe portable version with the SetWebBrowserPath() method.
