Unable to cast object of type 'iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.CellWrapper' to type 'iTextSharp.text.Paragraph'.It throws the error here htmlparser.Parse(sr); I have checked the internet for solution, but there seems to be none solving my problem. Somebody please help me out

Do you have an example of the code or markup that you are trying to convert? iTextSharp can be very sensitive with regards to any syntax errors or unexpected content and may be prone to throwing errors like this. You'll also want to ensure that you are using the correct parser, as I believe that the original HTML parser was deprecated for the XML Worker instead.
