• Works with ASP.NET Core dependency injection
• Supports complex HTML, CSS, and inline styles

📦 Installation

Install via NuGet Package Manager:

dotnet add package Html2PDFGenerator

powershell
Copy code
Install-Package Html2PDFGenerator

Or search for Html2PDFGenerator in Visual Studio’s NuGet Package Manager UI.

⚙️ Configuration

In your Program.cs (or Startup file if using older .NET):

using HTML2PDF;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Register PDF generator service
builder.Services.AddPDFGenerator();

var app = builder.Build();

🧠 Usage Example

In your controller or service:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using HTML2PDF;

public class MyPDFController : Controller
{
    private readonly IPDFGenerator _pdf;

    public MyPDFController(IPDFGenerator pdf)
    {
        _pdf = pdf;
    }

    [HttpGet("generate-pdf")]
    public IActionResult GeneratePDF()
    {
        string htmlContent = "<h1>Hello World 🌍</h1><p>This is a sample PDF generated from HTML.</p>";

        byte[] pdfBytes = _pdf.GeneratePDFFromHtml(htmlContent);

        return File(pdfBytes, "application/pdf", "Sample.pdf");
    }
}
