itextSharp not apply html style attributes

Question

I'm using itextsharp to create a pdf file from html. It's work great, but i have problems with style attributes inside HTML. To parse html i'm using this code.

cssResolver.AddCssFile(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory+"/Content/css/style.css",true);
                    IPipeline pipeline =
                     new CssResolverPipeline(cssResolver,
                      new HtmlPipeline(htmlContext,
                        new PdfWriterPipeline(doc, writer)));

                    var worker = new XMLWorker(pipeline, true);
                    var p = new XMLParser(true, worker, Encoding.Unicode);

                    using (var sr = new StringReader(html))
                    {
                        p.Parse(sr);
                    }

So it's apply my css styles and they works, but i have some style in my html file, i can't move it to css file because they formed dynamically.

<div id="VC" class="vc-scene-canvas-div" style="left: 15px; bottom: 15px; height: 517px; width: 244px;">
   <img src="">                          
   <img src="" style="left: 32px; bottom: 0px; height: 459px; width: 181px; z-index: 10;">
   <img src="" style="left: 14px; bottom: 0px; height: 477px; width: 217px; z-index: 20;">                                               
</div>

And when i formed my pdf i see all except images.But when i remove style tags all OK. Is it possible to use style in css and html at the same time? Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

Your problem is the CSS attribute you are using, XMLWorker doesn't support left, bottom, z-index, only partially height

You can check the support of every CSS attribute from this list
