How to Use IronPDF with Blazor for PDF Generation

In this tutorial, we explore the integration of IronPDF in a Blazor server application. Start by installing the IronPDF NuGet package using the package manager. Then, add a new Razor component named IronPDFComponent in the Pages folder to handle user input and PDF generation. Configure the component with a route, inject the IJSRuntime for JavaScript interop, and use the IronPDF namespace to access PDF functionalities.

Create a form with a text area for HTML input and a button to trigger PDF rendering. Define an input HTML model class and initialize it to capture HTML content. Set the IronPDF license key and use Chrome PDF Renderer to convert HTML to PDF, saving it with a specified file name. Utilize JavaScript interop to download the PDF file. Update the layout.cshtml file to include necessary JavaScript code for downloading the file from the browser’s download folder. Finally, add a link to the IronPDF component in the navigation menu.

Running the application allows you to input HTML, render it as a PDF, and download it automatically, achieving pixel-perfect PDF generation in a Blazor server app. Enjoy seamless PDF creation with IronPDF in your Blazor component.
