Convert HTML to PDF on ASP.NET (VB) ?

Hello,

I have data stored in the database with HTML format, and I want to get the value of this html content with MyReader.getString() after getting the html code I must do the conversion to PDF Format.

You have any idea on how can I do it ? !!

You can put the whole HTML content into Word (as a HTML document) and extract it as PDF.

How can I convert it first to Word after that to PDF format manualy with code.

@Vincent: why?Save the entire HTML to a document.Add a Microsoft Word reference to your project and open your HTML document like this:Dim objWord As Word.ApplicationSet objWord = New Word.ApplicationobjWord.Documents.Open "<DRIVE>:\<path_to_your_file>.html", , , TrueNow you can extract this document as a PDF document.

Use a tool like webSuperGoo's ABCpdf, I've used it in the past and I found it quite easy to setup and use.

I don't need a `software solution`, I need to do it manualy with for example a library like the `iText` in `JAVA`.

There isn't a built in library to do PDF conversion in .NET. I recommended ABCpdf because doesn't require an install of software on your web server - you just add the DLL to your project.

Tall Components is a .NET library with decent VB.NET support. They have a library called WebToPDF.NET which may be what you're looking for. It's an extremely easy library API to use.

Pdfcrowd has an online API that lets you convert HTML to PDF. They have, among others, a client library for .NET. The API is pretty easy to use.
