Generation PDF from HTML (component for .NET)

Has anyone used any open source or paid .NET Control which does the conversion job from html to pdf file? At the moment, i am using Winnovative convertor control. But it has a performance limitation during the generation of bulk pages (like more than 1000) in the pdf. The limitation comes when we use bigger images in the html content. From last 4 months i've been working on the winnovative control and found plenty of major bugs in it. For a small application and usage. winnovative is good but not for the level where application will be used by thousands of clients.

Please suggest.

Answer 1

I have used two:

• Alt-Soft's Xml2PDF (which also converts XHTML to PDF)
• ExpertPDF's Html-to-PDF

Both worked quite okay, but have their quirks and troubles.

Answer 4

At last my company has decided to use pdfReactor from www.realobjects.com. It is much faster and better as compared to winnovative pdf control.

Answer 5

From this question I recently learned of wkhtmltopdf. Aside from the completely unpronounceable name, it seems to do a decent job of conversions of single pages, and supports some nifty options for generating bookmarks and a TOC from the headings.

I have no idea how it handles heavy loads...

Answer 6

I advise to try PDF Duo .NET component with main function to convert HTML to PDF.
