Convert HTML to PDF in MVC with iTextSharp in MVC Razor

Question

I am trying to convert HTML to PDF with iTextSharp in MVC Razor, but everything I have tried has not worked. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Answer 1

Here is how you implement this solution using the Razor engine NOT with the weird markup.

This way you have full control over the pdf presentation using standard html output.

The project with an example solution and source code is available here with nuget installation instructions:

https://github.com/andyhutch77/MvcRazorToPdf

Install-Package MvcRazorToPdf

This also uses the new itextsharp licence, so does not suffer from any of the negatives mentioned in the other answers.
