C# - Converting HTML to PDF in Using iText7
Converting HTML to PDF in C# is a common requirement for many applications. iText7 is a powerful library that allows you to create
and manipulate PDF documents. It also supports converting HTML to PDF, making it an excellent choice.
- Install iText7: First, you need to install the iText7 library. You can do this using the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio 2022. Search for "iText7" and install the itext7, itext7.bouncy-castle-adapter, itext7.pdfhtml packages.
- Create a New Console App: Open Visual Studio, go to File > New > Project, and select "Console App (.NET Core)" or Web App depending on your requirement.
Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2022. Create a Console application with .Net 8 and add the code below.
using iText.Html2pdf;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string html = "<html><body><h1>HTML to Pdf</h1><div>This is an example to convert Html to Pdf file using itext7 in C#</div></body></html>";
string outputPath = "C:\\Pdf\\output.pdf";
using (FileStream outputStream = new FileStream(outputPath, FileMode.Create))
{
ConverterProperties converterProperties = new ConverterProperties();
HtmlConverter.ConvertToPdf(html, outputStream, converterProperties);
}
Console.WriteLine("HTML to PDF conversion completed successfully and pdf file create at C:\\Pdf.");
}
}
