Example

Simple demonstration of creating a PDF document from HTML string:

  // create instance of PdfGenerator:
  var generator = new PdfGenerator();
  
  // create some HTML markup:
  var htmlToConvert = @"
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
      <body>
          <h1>Hello World!</h1>
          <p>This PDF has been generated by PhantomJs ;)</p>
      </body>
    </html>";
  
  // get some directory to save the output file:
  var currentDirectory = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
  
  // call method GeneratePdf with the html string and the output directory:
  var pathOfGeneratedPdf = generator.GeneratePdf(htmlToConvert, currentDirectory);
  
  // print the full path of the generated file:
  Console.WriteLine("Pdf generated at: " + pathOfGeneratedPdf);

Contributions

I made this library because there were no easy solutions for generating PDF on .NET Core especially on Linux. Any and all bug reports and Feature requests are welcome.
