PDFSharp HTML to PDF

PDFSharp is a .NET library that is made to optimize the development process. The specific purpose of PDFSharp is to allow developers to make PDF files through coding. PDFSharp is an amazing tool on its own, but it does not have native support for the conversion of HTML to PDF.

But the good news is that PDFSharp is an open-sourced software so it can be combined with third-party applications. So PDFSharp HTML to PDF was made to ease the process of making PDF files. It is a conjunction of TheArtOfDev.HtmlRenderer and PDFSharp. It reads the HTML strings and then renders it as an image. Then, it inserts that image into a PDF file.

Features:

• It is compatible with .NET, making it a good choice for developers in this environment.
• Allow you to customize or add new features.
• Can convert a webpage into PDF.
• The shared library concept of .NET enables useful functionalities.
• Passwords and specific permissions can be placed to secure the data.
• Existing PDF files can be merged or modified using the original PDFSharp.
• Has multiple security and safety features.
• New features are added consistently.
• Can be downloaded on Mac or Linux.

This combined PDF maker can be downloaded from any software information site. During the development process, it is free to use, but at deployment, you are required to pay. However, some prerequisites are required to use the power of PDFSharp HTML to PDF. These include a modern OS, .NET 5 or .NET Standard, or .NET Core 2.0. Moreover, since this software is targeted towards developers, it might not be suitable for people with less technical knowledge.

PDFSharp HTML to PDF can handle basic HTML like bold or underlined formatting. Also, it may not be able to convert complex HTML or CSS codes into PDF documents. Moreover, the rendering is done as an image so text might not be converted fully on the PDF. But luckily, if you have technical knowledge, it can be customized since PDFShare is an open-source software.

PDFSharp, in combination with HtmlRenderer, can convert HTML code to PDF document.
