Let's start with how to use the IronPDF library to convert the byte array to a PDF file.

Steps to Convert Byte Array to PDF

Starting with opening Visual Studio, select any C# application template according to your project needs. For this quick tutorial, the Console Application template will be used. You can modify the already existing C# project file.

Install-Package IronPdf

using IronPdf;

using IronPdf;

Imports IronPdf

using IronPdf;
using System.Text;

// Converting an array of bytes into a PDF file.

byte[] byteArray = { 84, 104, 105, 115, 32, 105, 115, 32, 98, 121, 116, 101, 32, 97, 114, 114, 97, 121 };

// Convert the byte array into a string using ASCII encoding
string data = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(byteArray);

// Create an HTML string with the data
string HTML = $"<h1>{data}</h1>";

// Initialize PDF renderer
var renderer = new IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer();

// Render HTML to PDF
using var pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf(HTML);

// Save the PDF file
pdf.SaveAs("bytearray.pdf");

using IronPdf;
using System.Text;

// Converting an array of bytes into a PDF file.

byte[] byteArray = { 84, 104, 105, 115, 32, 105, 115, 32, 98, 121, 116, 101, 32, 97, 114, 114, 97, 121 };

// Convert the byte array into a string using ASCII encoding
string data = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(byteArray);

// Create an HTML string with the data
string HTML = $"<h1>{data}</h1>";

// Initialize PDF renderer
var renderer = new IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer();

// Render HTML to PDF
using var pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf(HTML);

// Save the PDF file
pdf.SaveAs("bytearray.pdf");

Imports IronPdf
Imports System.Text

' Converting an array of bytes into a PDF file.

Private byteArray() As Byte = { 84, 104, 105, 115, 32, 105, 115, 32, 98, 121, 116, 101, 32, 97, 114, 114, 97, 121 }

' Convert the byte array into a string using ASCII encoding
Private data As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(byteArray)

' Create an HTML string with the data
Private HTML As String = $"<h1>{data}</h1>"

' Initialize PDF renderer
Private renderer = New IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer()

' Render HTML to PDF
Private pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf(HTML)

' Save the PDF file
pdf.SaveAs("bytearray.pdf")
