iTextSharp HTML Parse "The given path's format is not supported"

Question

I am having a bizarre issue trying to convert an HTML string to a PDF. I have tried several example for the internet and all are given me this same error on the htmlparser.Parse() method.

Here is the code:

Byte[] bytes;
StringReader sr = new StringReader(sbEmail.ToString());

var pdfDoc = new itxt.Document(itxt.PageSize.LETTER_LANDSCAPE, 15, 15, 0, 0);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, memoryStream);
    pdfDoc.Open();

    htmlparser.Parse(sr);
    pdfDoc.Close();

    bytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
    memoryStream.Close();
}

There is no physical file path involved yet. So how can there be a problem with a file path?

It's about HTMLWorker is deprecated and you can use XMLWorker instead. See here for more advanced usage of XMLWorker: info
