A comparison of HTML to PDF in IronPDF vs iText7

In this tutorial, we delve into a comparison between IronPDF and iText7 for converting HTML to PDF. We begin with iText7, detailing the installation of necessary libraries and the process of converting an HTML file to PDF. The tested HTML file, consisting of complex code linked with multiple JavaScript and CSS files, is derived from a Stack Overflow page. Upon execution, iText7 fails to properly render the CSS and other associated files, resulting in a disorganized output with incorrect fonts and layout. In contrast, the IronPDF library, after installation and initialization, successfully converts the same HTML file, maintaining the intended layout and functionality, including editable text fields and functional JavaScript. This comparison highlights IronPDF's superior capability in rendering complex web pages accurately. The tutorial concludes with a recommendation for IronPDF due to its efficient handling of CSS and JavaScript, ensuring high-quality outputs.
