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

This is how to do it using MVC:

[Route("ABCDD")]
[HttpGet]
public void ABCDD() {
    WebClient wc = new WebClient();
    // string url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;
    string url = "http://localhost:3042/Reports/COAListing";
    string fileContent = wc.DownloadString(url);

    List tableContents = GetContents(fileContent, table_pattern);

    string HTMLString = String.Join(" ", tableContents.ToArray());

    Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);
    PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream);
    pdfDoc.Open();
    pdfDoc.Add(new Paragraph("Welcome to dotnetfox"));
    List htmlarraylist = HTMLWorker.ParseToList(new StringReader(HTMLString), null);
    for (int k = 0; k < htmlarraylist.Count; k++) {
        pdfDoc.Add((IElement) htmlarraylist[k]);
    }

    pdfDoc.Close();
    HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "pdf/application";
    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;" +
            "filename=sample.pdf");
    HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
    HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(pdfDoc);
    HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
}
