How to Convert HTML to PDF in an ASP.NET MVC View

In this tutorial, we delve into converting an ASP.NET MVC view to a PDF using IronPDF within a .NET 6 framework in Visual Studio 2022. We start by setting up the IronPDF library via NuGet and creating a home controller with an action method named 'Get HTML Page as PDF'. This method utilizes the Chrome PDF render object and the 'Render HTML as PDF' function to convert basic or complex HTML strings into PDF format, supporting styling and additional functionalities. We then set headers for content length and disposition, allowing users to download the generated PDF file.

Beyond simple conversions, IronPDF offers advanced capabilities such as setting paper sizes, editing existing PDFs, creating fillable forms, adding page numbers and breaks, and performing image insertions and extractions. This tutorial aims to equip developers with the tools to efficiently convert web content to PDFs and explore IronPDF's versatile features. For any queries, a dedicated support team is available to assist.
