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's rendering is "pixel perfect" to desktop versions of Google Chrome.

// PM> Install-Package IronPdf
using IronPdf;
// Instantiate Renderer
var Renderer = new IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer();
// Create a PDF from a URL or local file path
using var pdf = Renderer.RenderUrlAsPdf("https://ironpdf.com/");
// Export to a file or Stream
pdf.SaveAs("url.pdf");
' PM> Install-Package IronPdf
Imports IronPdf
' Instantiate Renderer
Private Renderer = New IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer()
' Create a PDF from a URL or local file path
Private var As using
' Export to a file or Stream
pdf.SaveAs("url.pdf")
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.
You can download a file project from this link.

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.

// PM> Install-Package IronPdf
using IronPdf;
// Instantiate Renderer
var Renderer = new IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer();
// Create a PDF from an existing HTML file using C#
using var pdf = Renderer.RenderHTMLFileAsPdf("example.html");
// Export to a file or Stream
pdf.SaveAs("output.pdf");
' PM> Install-Package IronPdf
Imports IronPdf
' Instantiate Renderer
Private Renderer = New IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer()
' Create a PDF from an existing HTML file using C#
Private var As using
' Export to a file or Stream
pdf.SaveAs("output.pdf")
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.

// PM> Install-Package IronPdf
using IronPdf;
var PdfOptions = new IronPdf.Rendering.AdaptivePdfRenderOptions()
{
CreatePdfFormsFromHtml = true,
EnableJavaScript = false,
Title = "My ASPX Page Rendered as a PDF"
//.. many more options available
};
AspxToPdf.RenderThisPageAsPdf(AspxToPdf.FileBehavior.Attachment, "MyPdfFile.pdf", PdfOptions);
' PM> Install-Package IronPdf
Imports IronPdf
Private PdfOptions = New IronPdf.Rendering.AdaptivePdfRenderOptions() With {
.CreatePdfFormsFromHtml = True,
.EnableJavaScript = False,
.Title = "My ASPX Page Rendered as a PDF"
}
AspxToPdf.RenderThisPageAsPdf(AspxToPdf.FileBehavior.Attachment, "MyPdfFile.pdf", PdfOptions)
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.

// PM> Install-Package IronPdf

using System.Linq;
// One or more images as IEnumerable. This example selects all JPEG images in a specific 'assets' folder.
var ImageFiles = System.IO.Directory.EnumerateFiles("assets").Where(f => f.EndsWith(".jpg") || f.EndsWith(".jpeg"));
// Converts the images to a PDF and save it.
ImageToPdfConverter.ImageToPdf(ImageFiles).SaveAs("composite.pdf");
// Also see PdfDocument.RasterizeToImageFiles() method to flatten a PDF to images or thumbnails

' Converts the images to a PDF and save it.
ImageToPdfConverter.ImageToPdf(ImageFiles).SaveAs("composite.pdf")
' Also see PdfDocument.RasterizeToImageFiles() method to flatten a PDF to images or thumbnails
PDF documents can be easily constructed from one or more image files using the IronPdf.ImageToPdfConverter Class.

// Step 1. Creating a PDF with editable forms from HTML using form and input tags
var FormHtml = @"

// Instantiate Renderer
var Renderer = new IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer();

Renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf(FormHtml).SaveAs("BasicForm.pdf");
// Step 2. Reading and Writing PDF form values.
using var FormDocument = PdfDocument.FromFile("BasicForm.pdf");
//Set and Read the value of the "firstname" field
var FirstNameField = FormDocument.Form.GetFieldByName("firstname");
FirstNameField.Value = "Minnie";
Console.WriteLine("FirstNameField value: {0}", FirstNameField.Value);
//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);
FormDocument.SaveAs("FilledForm.pdf");
' PM> Install-Package IronPdf
Imports IronPdf
' Step 1. Creating a PDF with editable forms from HTML using form and input tags
Private FormHtml = "

' Instantiate Renderer
Private Renderer = New IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer()
Renderer.RenderingOptions.CreatePdfFormsFromHtml = True
Renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf(FormHtml).SaveAs("BasicForm.pdf")
' Step 2. Reading and Writing PDF form values.
Using 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")
End Using
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 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.

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.
How add a Background (or overlay) to a PDF in C#
- Load or create a multi-page PDF as an IronPdf.PdfDocument object.
- You can add backgrounds using PdfDocument.AddBackgroundPdf. There are several background insertion methods and overrides in the IronPdf.PdfDocument documentation
- You can add Foregrounds also known as "Overlays" using PdfDocument.AddForegroundOverlayPdfToPage. There are several foreground insertion methods and overrides in the IronPdf.PdfDocument documentation
- Save the PDF to disk, or serve it as a FileActionResult via MVC.
