Watch this video tutorial to master generating downloadable PDF files in your .NET Core MVC applications, enhancing your web projects with streamlined and efficient document handling capabilities!
In this tutorial, we explore how to generate PDF files for download in .NET Core MVC applications. Starting with creating a .NET Core MVC application in Visual Studio 2022, we walk through the installation of the IronPDF library via the NuGet package manager. Next, we delve into the HomeController file, where we write the code to generate PDFs. This involves creating a `ChromePdfRender` object, setting the page size to A2, and adjusting the viewport width. Using the `RenderUrlAsPdf` function, we convert HTML content into a byte stream, allowing users to download the PDF file to their computers. We then move on to modify the `index.cshtml` file, replacing placeholder code with the source code that enables PDF download functionality. This involves creating an anchor tag styled as a button, linking it to the generate PDF function. Running the project presents a button on the page that, when clicked, allows users to download and view the PDF, which accurately captures the web page's formatting and functionality. The tutorial concludes with a reminder that support is available for any assistance needed.
