Even if you do want to go through that pain, features are rather limited. Ridiculous pricing. Might be OK for people who hate money but I skipped this one.
Another one for haters of money. Support for. NET Core also seemed extremely sketchy. With the documentation half saying they support. You guessed it, another one with ridiculous pricing. Seems to work on AGPL license for free applications but rather not get into that. So after all of that. Where does it leave us? And again in my opinion, it seemed to have the most fully featured API along with the most up to date documentation.
If you have another PDF option in. NET Core, feel free to drop a comment below! Core Also there are some. You forgot the most important thing when addressing a PDF library for. Net Core, it should be compatible to work cross platform on Windows and Linux as well. Great comment Liran! Thanks for that. Very useful comment, thank you. I too have been plugging away at finding a cross platform html2pdf library.
The other option is that you deploy a web service with your application that can execute JavaScript. We ran through the same comparison, and ended up with the same frustration we are software vendor with both SAAS and on-prem customers. We ended up with JSReports. Works pretty neat. NET version which has some restrictions in terms of the number of pages, etc. Plus they offer a community license. They have. NET and. NET Core versions. It has Nuget packages available.
While they have a deployment license which is single server, single application, they have a company license available. The company license is unlimited devs, unlimited apps, unlimited deployments. They actually give you a lot of bang for the buck, but most of it will probably go unused. I made a wrapper around wkhtmltopdf that includes all binaries, it works on windows, linux and mac. PdfSharpCore for rendering pdf from html. I did on this very blog!
I too have conducted similar research, also with disappointing results. We are happy to pay for the license providing it is reasonable. Aspose and Syncfusion pricing is simply crazy, so I have not even evaluated them. We are using the Mvc razor engine for templating, and extract the Html directly from that. We therefore needed a library to convert Html strings or streams to Pdf documents.
For us, a crucial component was that we could specify the header in Html. This eliminated any wkhtmltopdf wrapper library, since wkhtmltopdf only supports a header as a document or url. Writing the header to a temp file and deleting afterwards smelled too bad for my liking. If this is not crucial for you, then one of the wrappers for wkhtmltopdf could work very well, DinkToPdf is probably the best bet. IronPdf was one of the few libraries that seemed to completely ignore this style and would split a table row in half at the page break.
This completely ruled out IronPdf for us. Two libraries not mentioned above are HiQPdf and Winnovative.

Nice trick. Very useful as a quick solution. I don't have an easy way of checking this all my Windows systems have one or other fairly recent version of Office installed , but I think that the 'Microsoft Print to PDF' driver is installed with Office, rather than coming with Windows Perhaps someone with an Office-less system can confirm or refute this? No Office required. For that I am using SaveFileDialog which will ask the user to select a file path and file name. SaveFileDialog will open a file dialog to select the folder and file name where you want to create a pdf file.
I have set Initial Directory to D drive, but you can set it to any. I have set Default Extension to pdf files as we are only dealing with pdf files here. Inside the "if" condition, I have put the actual code that will create the pdf file. Now we can see that we have managed to generate a pdf file with only two lines of code. PdfText is the name of a Rich Text box which contains the text that will be written in a pdf file.
The filename is the file path and name which the user has selected via SaveFileDialog. I have written the following text:.
