how to pass html as a string using wkhtmltopdf?

Question

how to pass html as a string instead of url in wkhtmltopdf using asp.net, c#?

Answer 1

I know this is an older post, but I want future developers to have this option. I had the same need, and the idea of having to start a background process just to get a PDF inside of a web app is terrible.

Here's another option: https://github.com/TimothyKhouri/WkHtmlToXDotNet

It's a .NET native wrapper around wkhtmltopdf.

Sample code here:

var pdfData = HtmlToXConverter.ConvertToPdf("
COOOL!
");

Note, it's not thread-safe as of right now - I'm working on that. So just use a monitor or something or a lock.
