HTML to PDF conversion

[winnovative]

Hi,

You can try the HTML to PDF converter from Winnovative Software at http://www.winnovative-software.com .

The HTML to PDF Converter Library for .NET can be used as a general purpose component for converting web pages and HTML code to PDF documents and images in any format or it can be used to easily create PDF reports directly from ASP.NET pages to benefit from the great power of standard ASP.NET databound server controls.

The converter can convert the web pages to PDF documents with selectable texts and objects or to PDF documents with an embedded image.

You can add footers and headers to the rendered document, set the page size, page orientation and PDF compression level. The library can be used from any .NET 2.0 application (windows forms, ASP.NET web sites or command line tools). When using the converter from ASP.NET web sites you can opt for the HTML to PDF Converter ASP.NET server control to benefit from the Visual Studio 2005 design time capabilities.

The .NET 2.0 libraries, ASP.NET server controls and the provided samples are royalty free. Version 2.3 adds the possibility to define custom page breaks in the HTML code. You have to simply put the b tag where you want split the page.

You can convert your html to postcript using html2ps and then use ghostscript to convert your postcript to pdf.

everyone hates pdfs. look into a tool to convert the page to a image. we use htmlsnapshot, works very well. much better than any pdf converter i found, pdf is such a crap format and they're always making it worse. adobe sucks minus photoshop.

Well... going OT but. PDF is not that bad. Sure, it has many features that most users won't need (could be called bloat) but the last time I checked doing text search on an image wasn't that straight-forward. Or print formatting an image of hight 120000px for any number of printers.

HTML to PDF conversion is difficult because there is no true 1:1 mapping (most browsers don't even render the same HTML the same way) but that isn't the problem of the PDF format). There will be open (and openish) XML document formats gaining market share but they too will have strengths and weaknesses.

Recently I had the same problem, I haven't found a 100% satisfactory solution, but... you can use Apache FOP which gets the basic work done.
FOP needs a stylesheet for xhtml->fo conversion, grab it from here:

iText is great but it won't convert your html into pdf.

If you're looking for high-quality HTML to PDF conversion, I'd recommend DocRaptor. DocRaptor is an HTML to PDF API created by my company, Expected Behavior. We use Prince XML for PDF generation, and provide much better CSS support than similar APIs.

My front end designers created a great looking html front end. This front end is pretty complex containing lots of images and CSS. One of my project requirements is to be able to export this front end to PDF. The PDF has to be pretty much an exact copy of the HTML version. I was looking at the AbstractPdfView examples and they seem to be pretty manual. I doubt I could manually recreate this great looking html front end using itext, although it's a great tool. If I already have the finished HTML, is there an easy way to create a PDF version? Thx. well, use xflip to covnert pdf to html easily
