As HTML is markup language, it can be difficult to convert the contents of HTML to a PDF without the HTML tags. We’ll be working with IronPDF for this tutorial to do just that, create PDF in C# from HTML, because of its ease of use and additional features like using Javascript, CSS, and and images.

Code Examples

Create PDF from HTMLVB C#

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using IronPdf;
namespace TestIronPDF1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
var HtmlLine = new HtmlToPdf();
HtmlLine.RenderHtmlAsPdf(“<h1> A Simple PDF File </h1> <br> <h6> Heading 6 </h6>”).SaveAs(“sample.pdf”);
}
}
}

2. C# Create PDF

To create a PDF from HTMl, we can take either a HTML page (offline or online, both get converted and replicated on a PDF.) Users can either use .HTML as a link to it, or else it will write a code on double parenthesis with the HTML tags.

In the below example, we have use IronPDF and the method ‘RenderHtmlAsPdf(“<TAG>”)’ to convert the HTML to a PDF using some HTML tags. This is a very clean one line of code which let you convert into PDF in one go.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using IronPdf;
namespace TestIronPDF1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
var HtmlLine = new HtmlToPdf();
HtmlLine.RenderHtmlAsPdf(“<h1> A Simple PDF File </h1> <br> <h6> Heading 6 </h6>”).SaveAs(“sample.pdf”);
}
}
}
