ASPX & ASP.Net Code Samples

ASPX and .Net: Save ASPX Page as PDF Save ASPX Page as PDF 
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
IronPdf.AspxToPdf.RenderThisPageAsPdf();
//Changes the ASPX output into a pdf instead of html
}
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
IronPdf.AspxToPdf.RenderThisPageAsPdf()
'Changes the ASPX output into a pdf instead of html
End Sub

Using the IronPDF library, ASP.NET web pages can be rendered to PDF instead of HTML by adding a single line of code to the Form_Load event. This allows complex PDFs to be data driven, and designed and tested as HTML first for simplicity.

ASP.NET ASPX to PDF functionality allows the full set of options available when rendering HTML from a string or file, but adds 2 new options:
- Changing the PDF file name
- Your PDF may be displayed directly in the web browser, or as a file download.

ASPX and .Net: Using Html To Create a PDF Using Html To Create a PDF 
// Install IronPdf with Nuget:  PM> Install-Package IronPdf

' Advanced:  Load external html assets: images, css and javascript.

Dim PDF = Renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<img src='icons/iron.png'>", "C:\site\assets\")
PDF.SaveAs("html-with-assets.pdf")

IronPDF allows developers to create PDF documents easily in C#, F#, and VB.Net for .NET Core and .NET Framework. In this example we show that a PDF document can be rendered using HTML. You can choose simple HTML like the above, or incorporate CSS, images and Javascript. IronPDF rendering closely follows Google Chrome.

ASPX and .Net: Converting a URL to a PDF Converting a URL to a PDF 
// Install IronPdf with Nuget:  PM> Install-Package IronPdf
using IronPdf;

IronPdf.HtmlToPdf Renderer = new IronPdf.HtmlToPdf();
Renderer.RenderUrlAsPdf("https://ironpdf.com/").SaveAs("url.pdf");



// or System.IO.MemoryStream PdfStream = PDF.GetStream;
// or byte[] PdfBinary = PDF.GetBinary;
' Install IronPdf with Nuget:  PM> Install-Package IronPdf

Private Renderer As New IronPdf.HtmlToPdf()
Renderer.RenderUrlAsPdf("https://ironpdf.com/").SaveAs("url.pdf")



' or System.IO.MemoryStream PdfStream = PDF.GetStream;
' or byte[] PdfBinary = PDF.GetBinary;

IronPDF makes it very straightforward to render HTML from existing URLs as PDF documents. There is a very high level of support for Javascript, Images, Forms and CSS.

Rendering PDFs from ASP.NET URLs which accept query string variables can make PDF development an easy collaboration between designers and coders.

ASPX and .Net: HTML or Image File to PDF HTML or Image File to PDF 
 // Install IronPdf with Nuget:  PM> Install-Package IronPdf
using IronPdf;

// Create a PDF from an existing HTML using C#
 var Renderer = new IronPdf.HtmlToPdf();
 var PDF = Renderer.RenderHTMLFileAsPdf("Assets/TestInvoice1.html");
 var OutputPath = "Invoice.pdf";
 PDF.SaveAs(OutputPath);
' Install IronPdf with Nuget:  PM> Install-Package IronPdf
Imports IronPdf

' Create a PDF from an existing HTML using C#
 Private Renderer = New IronPdf.HtmlToPdf()
 Private PDF = Renderer.RenderHTMLFileAsPdf("Assets/TestInvoice1.html")
 Private OutputPath = "Invoice.pdf"
 PDF.SaveAs(OutputPath)

We can also render any HTML file on our hard disk.

All relative assets such as CSS, images and js will be rendered as if the file had been opened using the file:// protocol.

This method has the advantage of allowing the developer the opportunity to test the HTML content in a browser during development. We recommend Chrome as being the web browser on which IronPDF's rendering engine is based.

IronPDF supports many customizations for generated PDF file formats including: Paper Sizes, Document output quality, Content Scaling, CSS 'media types' and JavaScript Support.

PDF documents can be easily constructed from one or more image files using the IronPdf.ImageToPdfConverter Class.

Renderer.PrintOptions.Footer.RightText = "{page} of {total-pages}"

' mergable fields are:

Headers and Footers may be added to PDF documents in 2 distinct ways.
- SimpleHeaderFooter allows text based headers to be added, with the option to merge in dynamic data.
- HtmlHeaderFooter allows the developer to render HTML headers and footers to PDF files, also allowing the templating of dynamic data.

ASPX and .Net: HTML Headers & Footers HTML Headers & Footers 
// Install IronPdf with Nuget:  PM> Install-Package IronPdf
using IronPdf;

IronPdf.HtmlToPdf Renderer = new IronPdf.HtmlToPdf();

 };

// Build a header using an image asset
// Note the use of BaseUrl to set a relative path to the assets
Renderer.PrintOptions.Header = new HtmlHeaderFooter()
{
  Height = 20,
  HtmlFragment = "<img src='logo.png'>",
  BaseUrl = new Uri(@"C:\assets\images\").AbsoluteUri
};
' Install IronPdf with Nuget:  PM> Install-Package IronPdf

	.DrawDividerLine = True
}

' Build a header using an image asset

	.Height = 20,
	.HtmlFragment = "<img src='logo.png'>",
	.BaseUrl = (New Uri("C:\assets\images\")).AbsoluteUri
}

HTML Headers and Footers are rendered as independent HTML documents which may have their own assets and stylesheets. Developers may control the Height of the rendered Header or Footer to match their content exactly.

IronPDF allows many PDF file editing manipulations. The most popular are merging, cloning and extracting pages.

PDF may also be watermarked, stamped and have backgrounds and foregrounds applied.

pdf.SaveAs("C:\Path\To\Watermarked.pdf")

IronPDF provides methods to 'watermark' PDF documents with HTML. Watermarks may be set to render above or below existing content, and have built in capacity for opacity, rotation and hyperlinks.

ASPX and .Net: Backgrounds & Foregrounds Backgrounds & Foregrounds 
// Install IronPdf with Nuget:  PM> Install-Package IronPdf

pdf.AddBackgroundPdf("MyBackground.pdf")
pdf.AddForegroundOverlayPdfToPage(0, "MyForeground.pdf", 0)
pdf.SaveAs("C:\Path\To\Complete.pdf")

An existing or rendered PDF may be used as the Background or Foreground for another PDF document. This is particularly useful for design consistency and templating.

//Set and Read the value of the "firstname" field
var FirstNameField =  FormDocument.Form.GetFieldByName("firstname");

//Set and Read the value of the "lastname" field
IronPdf.Forms.FormField LastNameField = FormDocument.Form.GetFieldByName("lastname");
LastNameField.Value = "Mouse";
Console.WriteLine("LastNameField value: {0}", LastNameField.Value);

' Install IronPdf with Nuget:  PM> Install-Package IronPdf

Private Renderer As New IronPdf.HtmlToPdf()
Renderer.PrintOptions.CreatePdfFormsFromHtml = True
Renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf(FormHtml).SaveAs("BasicForm.pdf")

' Step 2. Reading and Writing PDF form values.
Dim FormDocument = PdfDocument.FromFile("BasicForm.pdf")

'Set and Read the value of the "firstname" field
Dim FirstNameField = FormDocument.Form.GetFieldByName("firstname")
FirstNameField.Value = "Minnie"
Console.WriteLine("FirstNameField value: {0}", FirstNameField.Value)

'Set and Read the value of the "lastname" field
Dim LastNameField As IronPdf.Forms.FormField = FormDocument.Form.GetFieldByName("lastname")
LastNameField.Value = "Mouse"
Console.WriteLine("LastNameField value: {0}", LastNameField.Value)

FormDocument.SaveAs("FilledForm.pdf")

PDFs with editable forms can be created from HTML simply by adding <form>, <input>, and <textarea> tags. The PdfDocument.Form.GetFieldByName can be used to read and write the value of any form field. The name of the field will be the same as the 'name' attribute given to that field in your HTML. The PdfDocument.Form object can be used to:
- Populate the default value of form fields (must be focused in Adobe Reader to display this value)
- Read data from user filled PDF forms in any language.

IronPDF allows any PDF document to be exported to image files in convenient formats or Bitmap objects. Image dimensions and page number ranges may also be specified.

IronPDF has options to digitally sign new or existing PDF files using .pfx and .p12 X509Certificate2 digital certificates. Once a PDF is signed, it can not be modified without the certificate being invalidated. This ensures fidelity. To generate a signing certificate for free using Adobe Reader, please read https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/digital-ids.html In addition to cryptographic signing, a hand written signature image or company stamp image may also be used to sign using IronPDF.
