The main class HtmlToPdf provides several methods and properties to enable multi-purpose customization of the resulting PDF.

Developers can easily invoke the converting component in their own application or website projects on base of ASP.NET. To deploy the PDF Duo .Net component you will need only three lines of code. Installing package is provided with fully featured demos written in both C# and Visual Basic. Simple examples with source code help you using the PDF Duo .Net component to successfully convert HTML to PDF.

I PDFDuo used NET.dll (version 2.3) in my project, which is very useful. First you need to convert the contents of your ASPX to HTML and then converted that HTML content into a PDF file or a different way, which I use to create a simple HTML string and then convert it.

See below C# code:
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.IO;
using DuoDimension;


public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string html = "<table width='240'>" +
"<tr style='background-color:#00AAFF'><td width='50%'>Product</td><td width='25%'>Quantity</td><td>Cost</td></tr>" +
"<tr><td>Product Name 1</td><td>5</td><td>$100</td></tr>" +
"<tr><td>Product Name 2</td><td>15</td><td>$300</td></tr>" +
"<tr><td>Product Name 3</td><td>55</td><td>$500</td></tr>" +
"</table>";
string pdf = "pdf_file.pdf";
DuoDimension.HtmlToPdf conv = new DuoDimension.HtmlToPdf();
conv.PageInfo.PageFormat = ePageFormat.A4;
conv.PdfDocumentInfo.Title = "Generate PDF from HTML source";
conv.Header = "<br><i>HTML table Example</i>";
try
{
conv.OpenHTML(html);
conv.SavePDF(MapPath("~/Reports/") + pdf);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
}
