You can convert HTML to PDF easily using GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET. A back-end API https://products.groupdocs.com/conversion/net that could be intergrated in any .NET application (e.g. Web, Windows Form).
Let's see how simple is the code:
// Setup Conversion configuration and Initailize ConversionHandler
ConversionConfig config = new ConversionConfig();
config.StoragePath = "source file storage path";
// Initailize ConversionHandler
ConversionHandler conversionHandler = new ConversionHandler(config);
// Convert and save converted document
var convertedDocumentPath = conversionHandler.Convert("sample.html", new PdfSaveOptions{});
convertedDocumentPath.Save("result-" + Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension("sample.html") + ".pdf");

Hi, HtmlRenderer.PdfSharp is a 100% fully C# managed code, easy to use, thread safe and most importantly FREE (New BSD License) solution. Usage Download HtmlRenderer.PdfSharp nuget package. Use Example Method. public static Byte[] PdfSharpConvert(String html) { Byte[] res = null; using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()) { var pdf = TheArtOfDev.HtmlRenderer.PdfSharp.PdfGenerator.GeneratePdf(html, PdfSharp.PageSize.A4); pdf.Save(ms); res = ms.ToArray(); } return res; } A very Good Alternate Is a Free Version of iTextSharp For more detail : https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Convert-ASPX-Page-to-PDF-using-iTextSharp-in-ASPNet-C-and-VBNet.aspx

You can try using LEADDocument.convert() method from LEADTOOLS to convert HTML to PDF. You can find more information here:
https://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v20/dh/javascript/dox/leaddocument-convert.html
https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/document/document-converter

Also, you can find the online project here:
https://demo.leadtools.com/JavaScript/DocumentViewer/

The following JavaScript code shows how you can do this using LEADTOOLS SDK:
// JavaScript source code
var url = "http://www.MyWebSite.com/MyPage.html";
lt.Documents.DocumentFactory.loadFromUri(url, null)
.done(function (document) {
var myJobData = new lt.Documents.DocumentConverterJobData();
myJobData.documentFormat = lt.Documents.Writers.DocumentFormat.pdf;
myJobData.rasterImageFormat = lt.Documents.RasterImageFormat.unknown;
document.convert(myJobData)
   .done(function (result) {
      var resultDoc = result.document != null ? result.document.url : result.archive.url;
      window.open(resultDoc);
   })
   .fail(function (jqXHR, status1, error1) {
      alert("Error during converting document " + error1);
   });
})
.fail(function (jqXHR, status1, error1) {
alert("Error during loading document " + error1);
});
Note that you can also do the conversion using LEADTOOLS Convert Cloud service for .NET. You can find more information with sample codes here:

Are you looking for a free or enterprise solution? If you need such features as best quality, customization, professional support and plenty of settings to convert HTML to PDF in C#, here is the offer: HTML to PDF C# SDK.

Evopdf Support10y ago

For the most accurate conversion I would recommend you the HTML to PDF library for .net from http://www.evopdf.com . The C# code to convert an URL to PDF is very simple:

using EvoPdf;
HtmlToPdfConverter htmlToPdfConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter();
byte[] outPdfBuffer = htmlToPdfConverter.ConvertUrl(url);

Hi,

I can recommend you PDF Vision .Net. It cost only 150$ and provides your .Net app by API to convert TIFF and HTML to PDF.

Let us say, to convert HTML to PDF in C#:

SautinSoft.PdfVision v = new SautinSoft.PdfVision();
v.PageStyle.PageSize.Letter();
v.ConvertHtmlFileToPDFFile(@"http://www.cnn.com", @"d:\web-sites\cnn.pdf");

Best wishes,
Max

Hi,

Here is my solution with C#

static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a pdf document.
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
String url = "http://www.london2012.com/news/articles/paralympic-torch-relay-route-revealed-1258473.html";
doc.LoadFromHTML(url, false, true, true);
//Save pdf file.
doc.SaveToFile("sample.pdf");
doc.Close();
//Launching the Pdf file.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("sample.pdf");
}

If there are still any problems,you can refer the full Article-Convert HTML to PDF, hope this helps.

Do you mean you want to render the HTML file ("snapshot" of the web page) and save the resulting image into a PDF? Or do you want to save the rendered HTML file to a PDF with full text and font information? If you want full text, one way to do it is using a printer driver where your application uses a web browser control to invoke printing, then capture the print job using a printer driver such as Lead tools virtual printer that supports capturing print jobs and saving as PDF. For the "snapshot" option, you could use a library that can convert HTML to images, then save the images as PDF.
