I use the following code to create PDF
protected void CreatePDF(Stream stream)
{
using (var document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 40, 40, 40, 30))
{
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, stream);
writer.PageEvent = new ITextEvents();
document.Open();
// instantiate custom tag processor and add to `HtmlPipelineContext`.
var tagProcessorFactory = Tags.GetHtmlTagProcessorFactory();
tagProcessorFactory.AddProcessor(
new TableProcessor(),
new string[] { HTML.Tag.TABLE }
);
//Register Fonts.
XMLWorkerFontProvider fontProvider = new XMLWorkerFontProvider(XMLWorkerFontProvider.DONTLOOKFORFONTS);
fontProvider.Register(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Content/Fonts/GothamRounded-Medium.ttf"), "Gotham Rounded Medium");
CssAppliers cssAppliers = new CssAppliersImpl(fontProvider);
var htmlPipelineContext = new HtmlPipelineContext(cssAppliers);
htmlPipelineContext.SetTagFactory(tagProcessorFactory);
var pdfWriterPipeline = new PdfWriterPipeline(document, writer);
var htmlPipeline = new HtmlPipeline(htmlPipelineContext, pdfWriterPipeline);
// get an ICssResolver and add the custom CSS
var cssResolver = XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().GetDefaultCssResolver(true);
cssResolver.AddCss(CSSSource, "utf-8", true);
var cssResolverPipeline = new CssResolverPipeline(
cssResolver, htmlPipeline
);
var worker = new XMLWorker(cssResolverPipeline, true);
var parser = new XMLParser(worker);
using (var stringReader = new StringReader(HTMLSource))
{
parser.Parse(stringReader);
document.Close();
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application /pdf";
if (base.View)
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline;filename=\"" + OutputFileName + ".pdf\"");
else
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + OutputFileName + ".pdf\"");
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
HttpContext.Current.Response.WriteFile(OutputPath);
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
}
}
}
