Converting an aspx page to pdf

[rbellehu]

How do you convert a aspx webpage in asp.net to a pdf? I know you can link a url and convert it but how do you do an default.aspx page in spire.pdf?

Dear rbellehu,

Sorry for the delay reply.

For your requirement, please refer to the code below:

Code: Select all

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
   StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
   HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
   this.RenderControl(htw);
   //string sourceCode = sw.ToString();
   string url=Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;
   Thread thread = new Thread(() =>
   {
      PdfPageSettings settings = new PdfPageSettings();
      PdfHtmlLayoutFormat format = new PdfHtmlLayoutFormat();
      pdf.LoadFromHTML(url, false, true, true, settings, format);
      //pdf.LoadFromHTML(Request.Url.AbsoluteUri, false, true, true);
   });
   pdf.SaveToHttpResponse("4159.pdf", Response, HttpReadType.Save);
}

Dear rbellehu,

Have you tried the code snippet to convert an aspx page to pdf? Did it work?

Looking forward to your response.

Hello Burning,
Tried the code but it generates a blank pdf. I think the problem with going through the URL is the Forms Authentication Membership. It does not appear to be allowing the program in to the site to create the page.
Best Regards,
Ron
