	{
		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
		}

		private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			//Used ChromePdfRenderer Convert Class
			var HtmlLine = new ChromePdfRenderer();

			//Getting Text from TextBox
			string text = textBox1.Text;

			//Here we are rendering or converting htmlaspdf.

		Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
			'Used ChromePdfRenderer Convert Class
			Dim HtmlLine = New ChromePdfRenderer()

			'Getting Text from TextBox
'INSTANT VB NOTE: The variable text was renamed since Visual Basic does not handle local variables named the same as class members well:
			Dim text_Conflict As String = textBox1.Text

			'Here we are rendering or converting htmlaspdf.
			HtmlLine.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>" & text_Conflict &"</h1>").SaveAs("custom.pdf")

2. Use the PDF .NET Library

Now that we have the software, we can generate PDF, adjust settings, add custom text and images, and manipulate the PDFs to our project requirements.

In the below code, we have used a C# Form demonstrating simply how to create a PDF with C# .Net library. In this, we have a textbox to write our own text, and then just click on a button to make a PDF.

using IronPdf;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace readpdf
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            //Used ChromePdfRenderer Convert Class
            var HtmlLine = new ChromePdfRenderer();

            //Getting Text from TextBox
            string text = textBox1.Text;

            //Here we are rendering or converting htmlaspdf.
            HtmlLine.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>"+text+"</h1>").SaveAs("custom.pdf");

            //Confirmation
            MessageBox.Show("Done !");
        }
    }
}

using IronPdf;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace readpdf
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            //Used ChromePdfRenderer Convert Class
            var HtmlLine = new ChromePdfRenderer();

            //Getting Text from TextBox
            string text = textBox1.Text;

            //Here we are rendering or converting htmlaspdf.
            HtmlLine.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>"+text+"</h1>").SaveAs("custom.pdf");

            //Confirmation
            MessageBox.Show("Done !");
        }
    }
}

Imports IronPdf
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Namespace readpdf
	Partial Public Class Form1
		Inherits Form

		Public Sub New()
			InitializeComponent()
		End Sub

		Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
			'Used ChromePdfRenderer Convert Class
			Dim HtmlLine = New ChromePdfRenderer()

			'Getting Text from TextBox
'INSTANT VB NOTE: The variable text was renamed since Visual Basic does not handle local variables named the same as class members well:
			Dim text_Conflict As String = textBox1.Text

			'Here we are rendering or converting htmlaspdf.
			HtmlLine.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>" & text_Conflict &"</h1>").SaveAs("custom.pdf")

			'Confirmation
			MessageBox.Show("Done !")
		End Sub
	End Class
End Namespace

3. C# Form to PDF

We have used a C# form to show you the perfect output with custom text. In just a single click, the text in textBox gets converted to a custom PDF. This requires only a single line code function and is easy to understand.
