    Page to PDF suggestion

    Hi,

    Does anybody can suggest me a good PDF converter. Free would be the best, but cheap option is an option.

    I have a page with a link and the link points to another page what I like to convert to PDF when I click on the link.

    I have been using SautinSoft's PDF Vision for about 10 years and upgraded to the newest version this spring. I mainly use it to convert HTML Invoices into PDF.

    https://www.sautinsoft.com/products/pdf-vision/index.php

    My code looks like this:

       public string CreatePDF(string url, string fileName)
        {
            try
            {
                _pdf.Serial = _pdfSerial;
                fileName = _WorkingDirectory + fileName + ".pdf";
                if (File.Exists(fileName))
                {
                    File.Delete(fileName);
                }
                _pdf.PageStyle.PageMarginLeft.Inch(float.Parse("1.0"));
                _pdf.PageStyle.PageMarginRight.Inch(float.Parse("1.0"));
                _pdf.PageStyle.PageMarginTop.Inch(float.Parse("0.5"));
                _pdf.PageStyle.PageMarginBottom.Inch(float.Parse("0.5"));
                _pdf.ConvertHtmlFileToPDFFile(url, fileName);
                return fileName;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return string.Empty;
            }
        }

    Thank you for the suggestion, although it seems the generated pdf is an image. In their demo I couldn't select any text. I will think about it.

    Is this javascript code that can be embedded in the cshtml page?

    No, it does create an actual pdf file.
