Hi,


I am working on .net MVC application. I need to convert the rendered Page into PDF document.
Do you have any example to do this? I see examples to convert to PDF when we provide an Input file. If you could provide me an example to convert the HTML page that would be really helpful.

Thanks & Regards

}

Hi,


Thank you for the clarification,

As per your requirement, you need to handle this in your own application to read the HTML after user input, once you have final html that you can read into a stream and use GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET API to create PDF output file.

Please click here to see more detail about input and output as an IOStream to PDF.

If you will need any help or you will have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Hi,


While generating the PDF from HTML content i am getting the below error.

Unable to cast object of type ‘System.IO.MemoryStream’ to type ’ ​ '. Could you please help me in fixing this issue.

And also my Html content is more and it is not rendering properly in portrait format. Is there any option to generate the pdf in landscape.

Hi Below is the code which i am using to generate the pdf.



private string GeneratePDF(Stream stream, string fileName)
{
ApplyLicense(licensePath);
ConversionHandler handler = GetConversionHandler();
return handler.Convert(stream, new PdfSaveOptions { OutputType = OutputType.String, CustomName = fileName });
}

Its failing at the last step.
return handler.Convert(stream, new PdfSaveOptions { OutputType = OutputType.String, CustomName = fileName });

Please find the attachment for the screen shot.

Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks & Regards
