HTML to PDF???

[tgf-47]

How do I convert a HTML page to a .PDF?

I have the iTextSharp.dll on my pc, don't know if that will have the functionality I need though.

Hello,

If you are talking about programmatically creating a PDF, then yes, iTextSharp is definitely what you are after. If you search these forums then you will find a number of examples of doing just what you are after.

This will do it, just add the reference to iTextSharp and modify the folder path as required

public void GeneratePDFDoc(string htmlText)
    {
          Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 50, 50);

         PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream(Server.MapPath("FOLDERPATH").Trim()) +"/" +"FileName.pdf", FileMode.OpenOrCreate));
   
      
        doc.AddDocListener(writer);
        doc.Open();





// step 4: we Add some content

            //make an arraylist ....with STRINGREADER since its no IO reading file...
          
   

      
        List<IElement> htmlarraylist = iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker.ParseToList(new StringReader(htmlText),null);
       
            //add the collection to the document
            for (int k = 0; k < htmlarraylist.Count; k++)
            {

                doc.Add((IElement)htmlarraylist[k]);
            }

            
            doc.Close();
     
    }

Nice sample!

The only slight change that I would make, personally, is if Document and PdfWriter implement IDisposable would be to wrap them both in a using/Using block.
