Implement Web Assets into your PDFs
IronPDF's robust support for web assets empowers developers with complete control over the appearance of their PDF documents. From its comprehensive support for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for a pixel-perfect rendering of HTML content to PDF, to the ability to implement custom fonts and images for visually appealing elements within the document, IronPDF's support for modern web standards and assets enables developers to produce high-quality, visually appealing PDFs effortlessly.
Working with Dynamic Web Content
Let's start by exploring how IronPDF simplifies the process of creating PDF documents from HTML content, complete with CSS styling and JavaScript elements. This straightforward process instills confidence in developers, knowing that they can easily convert their web assets into PDFs.
Debug HTML with Chrome
IronPDF's powerful rendering engine ensures pixel-perfect rendering of any HTML content. This means that the PDFs you render from HTML content will look exactly the same as the HTML does within a Chrome browser, providing a reliable and consistent rendering experience.
:path=/static-assets/pdf/content-code-examples/how-to/pixel-perfect-html-to-pdf-1.cs
// Pixel Perfect HTML Formatting Settings
IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer renderer = new IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer();
renderer.RenderingOptions.CssMediaType = PdfCssMediaType.Print; // or Screen
' Pixel Perfect HTML Formatting Settings
Dim renderer As New IronPdf.ChromePdfRenderer()
renderer.RenderingOptions.CssMediaType = PdfCssMediaType.Print ' or Screen

string[] htmlStrings = {"<h1>Html 1</h1>", "<h1>Html 2</h1>", "<h1>Html 3</h1>"};
// Create an array to store the tasks for rendering
var renderingTasks = new Task<PdfDocument>[htmlStrings.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < htmlStrings.Length; i++)
{
int index = i; // Capturing the loop variable
renderingTasks[i] = Task.Run(async () =>
{
// Render HTML to PDF
return await renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdfAsync(htmlStrings[index]);
});
}
// Wait for all rendering tasks to complete
// await Task.WhenAll(renderingTasks);
Imports IronPdf
Imports System.Threading.Tasks
' Instantiate ChromePdfRenderer
Private renderer As New ChromePdfRenderer()
Private htmlStrings() As String = {"<h1>Html 1</h1>", "<h1>Html 2</h1>", "<h1>Html 3</h1>"}
' Create an array to store the tasks for rendering
Private renderingTasks = New Task(Of PdfDocument)(htmlStrings.Length - 1){}
For i As Integer = 0 To htmlStrings.Length - 1
Dim index As Integer = i ' Capturing the loop variable
renderingTasks(i) = Task.Run(Async Function()
' Render HTML to PDF
Return Await renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdfAsync(htmlStrings(index))

method.
:path=/static-assets/pdf/content-code-examples/how-to/print-pdf-print.cs
using IronPdf;
ChromePdfRenderer renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
PdfDocument pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>Test printing</h1>");
// Send the document to "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer
pdf.Print("Microsoft Print to PDF");
Imports IronPdf
Private renderer As New ChromePdfRenderer()
Private pdf As PdfDocument = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>Test printing</h1>")
