Issue using StringReader in CRM Online Plugin

Hi,

We are generating a PDF file using iTextSharp Assembly. But CRM is throwing error in below line

HTMLWorker hw = new iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker(document);

  hw.Parse(new StreamReader(html));

html is the HTML string. The error we get is "Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.EnvironmentPermission, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed". I checked and found that usage of StringReader is not allowed due to security reasons. Can someone help us out here?

    Sorry for the typo. It is throwing error only when I am using StringReader not StreamReader. If I don't use StringReader it works fine but the PDF is not generating correctly.

    I am trying to read a html string. I tried using XMLWorkerHelper provided with iTextSharp but now the pdf is corrupted. Can you help me out? I need to read a record, generate a pdf and attach it to an email+create a not attachment.

    We opted to go with the HTML and then user can export that html page in form of a pdf file. Thanks everyone for your inputs.
