How to Convert Views to PDFs in ASPNET

Unlock the power of seamless ASP.NET MVC view-to-PDF conversions with our step-by-step guide using IronPDF, and empower your development projects with high-quality, easily generated PDFs!

In this tutorial, we explore converting views to PDF in ASP.NET MVC using IronPDF. We begin by setting up a personal model class featuring properties such as ID, name, title, and description. Moving to the Home controller, we create a sample list of individuals: Alice, Bob, and Charlie, all labeled as software engineers. The application detects a post request to trigger PDF generation, utilizing IronPDF's Chrome renderer for high-quality output. The core function, render view, merges the list with the view to produce a PDF, which is then served to the user. The view includes a form that posts back to the person's action, initiating the PDF creation upon clicking the print person button. For easy access, a navigation link is added in the layout cshtml file. Running the project, users can click the persons option in the navbar, generate, and download the PDF, which details Alice, Bob, and Charlie. This guide aims to simplify the process of converting ASP.NET MVC views to PDF using IronPDF, providing a practical solution for developers.
