The ChromePdfRenderer is your starting point for PDF generation in .NET with IronPDF. Pass any HTML string to RenderHtmlAsPdf, and it returns a ready-to-use PdfDocument. Finally, SaveAs writes the PDF to disk. The renderer automatically handles all the complexity of converting HTML elements, applying default styles, and creating a properly formatted PDF document. This makes IronPDF one of the most reliable .NET libraries for fast and accurate PDF generation.

Working with Complex HTML

Real-world PDFs require more sophisticated HTML. Here's how to create a professional-looking document with IronPDF's .NET PDF library:

These rendering options give you precise control over paper size and orientation, margin settings for professional layouts, background color and image rendering, form field creation from HTML inputs, and CSS media type selection for print-optimized styles. The CssMediaType.Print setting is particularly useful as it applies print-specific CSS rules, ensuring your generated PDF documents use appropriate styling for printed documents rather than screen display. Learn more about rendering options in the documentation.

How Can I Convert Web Pages to PDF?

Converting existing web pages to PDF is one of IronPDF's most powerful features. Whether you need to archive web content, create reports from online dashboards, or generate PDFs from your application's pages, IronPDF handles it all:

using IronPdf;
// Create a new ChromePdfRenderer instance
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
// Configure custom rendering options for rendering a web page
renderer.RenderingOptions.EnableJavaScript = true;
renderer.RenderingOptions.WaitFor.JavaScript(3000); // Wait an additional 3 seconds for JavaScript to load
renderer.RenderingOptions.CssMediaType = IronPdf.Rendering.PdfCssMediaType.Print;
// Convert any public webpage to PDF
var pdf = renderer.RenderUrlAsPdf("https://www.reddit.com");
pdf.SaveAs("reddit-homepage.pdf");

using IronPdf;
// Create a new ChromePdfRenderer instance
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
// Configure custom rendering options for rendering a web page
renderer.RenderingOptions.EnableJavaScript = true;
renderer.RenderingOptions.WaitFor.JavaScript(3000); // Wait an additional 3 seconds for JavaScript to load
renderer.RenderingOptions.CssMediaType = IronPdf.Rendering.PdfCssMediaType.Print;
// Convert any public webpage to PDF
var pdf = renderer.RenderUrlAsPdf("https://www.reddit.com");
pdf.SaveAs("reddit-homepage.pdf");

IRON VB CONVERTER ERROR developers@ironsoftware.com

IronPDF makes it simple to generate pixel-perfect PDF documents from URL content in just a few simple lines of code. The RenderUrlAsPdf method navigates to the specified URL, waits for the page to fully load, executes any JavaScript on the page, and then captures the rendered output as a PDF. This process happens using a real Chrome browser engine, ensuring perfect fidelity with the original webpage.

Handling Local Files and Resources

IronPDF can also convert local HTML files, making it perfect for generating PDFs from templates:

using IronPdf;
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
// Render a local HTML file
string filename = "report-template.html";
var pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlFileAsPdf(filename);
pdf.SaveAs("report.pdf");

using IronPdf;
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
// Render a local HTML file
string filename = "report-template.html";
var pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlFileAsPdf(filename);
pdf.SaveAs("report.pdf");

IRON VB CONVERTER ERROR developers@ironsoftware.com

The BaseUrl setting tells IronPDF where to find resources referenced in your HTML, such as images, CSS files, and JavaScript libraries. This approach works perfectly for template-based PDF generation, where you have pre-designed HTML templates that get populated with dynamic data.

Handling JavaScript-Heavy Content

Modern web applications rely heavily on JavaScript for dynamic content generation. IronPDF excels at handling these scenarios when you need to generate PDF documents from JavaScript-rich pages:

using IronPdf;
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
// Configure JavaScript rendering for PDF generation
renderer.RenderingOptions.EnableJavaScript = true;
renderer.RenderingOptions.WaitFor.RenderDelay(2000); // Wait 3 seconds for JS to execute
// Convert a JavaScript-heavy page to PDF
var htmlFile = "TestFiles\\JS-example.html";
var pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlFileAsPdf(htmlFile);
pdf.SaveAs("javascript-example.pdf");

using IronPdf;
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
// Configure JavaScript rendering for PDF generation
renderer.RenderingOptions.EnableJavaScript = true;
renderer.RenderingOptions.WaitFor.RenderDelay(2000); // Wait 3 seconds for JS to execute
// Convert a JavaScript-heavy page to PDF
var htmlFile = "TestFiles\\JS-example.html";
var pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlFileAsPdf(htmlFile);
pdf.SaveAs("javascript-example.pdf");

IRON VB CONVERTER ERROR developers@ironsoftware.com

This example demonstrates how IronPDF handles JavaScript-heavy content when generating PDFs in .NET. By enabling EnableJavaScript and adding a short RenderDelay, the ChromePdfRenderer waits for dynamic scripts, such as charts and animations, to finish executing before capturing the PDF. Here, we render a local HTML file (JS-example.html) and save it as javascript-example.pdf, ensuring the final PDF reflects all the interactive and dynamically generated content exactly as it appears in a browser.

IronPDF supports all modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries. Whether your application uses React, Angular, Vue.js, or vanilla JavaScript, the Chrome rendering engine executes everything precisely as it would in a standard browser. Charts render perfectly, dynamic forms maintain their state, and single-page applications display their routed content correctly. For more details on handling JavaScript, see the JavaScript to PDF guide.

Authentication and Secured Pages

Many applications require authentication to access certain pages. IronPDF provides several mechanisms for handling secured content:

using IronPdf;
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
ChromePdfRenderer renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer
{
    // setting login credentials to bypass basic authentication
    LoginCredentials = new ChromeHttpLoginCredentials()
    {
        NetworkUsername = "testUser",
        NetworkPassword = "testPassword"
    }
};
// Custom headers for API authentication
renderer.RenderingOptions.HttpRequestHeaders.Add("X-API-Key", "your-api-key");
var pdf = renderer.RenderUrlAsPdf("https://example.com/secure-page");
pdf.SaveAs("secure-content.pdf");
pdf.SaveAs("secure-content.pdf");

using IronPdf;
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
ChromePdfRenderer renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer
{
    // setting login credentials to bypass basic authentication
    LoginCredentials = new ChromeHttpLoginCredentials()
    {
        NetworkUsername = "testUser",
        NetworkPassword = "testPassword"
    }
};
// Custom headers for API authentication
renderer.RenderingOptions.HttpRequestHeaders.Add("X-API-Key", "your-api-key");
var pdf = renderer.RenderUrlAsPdf("https://example.com/secure-page");
pdf.SaveAs("secure-content.pdf");
pdf.SaveAs("secure-content.pdf");

IRON VB CONVERTER ERROR developers@ironsoftware.com

These authentication options cover most security scenarios. HTTP headers support bearer tokens and API keys, with ChromeHttpLoginCredentials handling the basic authentication, such as username/password-protected resources. The renderer maintains these credentials throughout the entire rendering process, including for resources like images and stylesheets loaded by the page.
