After my research for PDF conversion tools (which is a part of the documentation), I found that one of the best, up-to-date, usable solution that doesn’t cost hundreads of dollars, is wkhtmltopdf.

This is an assembly that wrapps the windows binaries.

Source code and demo project are provided.

Use this for

– creating pdf buttons to convert the current page (with Request.Url.ToString())

– converting a specific internal of external location

– creating a printable version of your site/page in pdf, tweaking the print.css

Updates

– Avoid Response.Write markup issues

Instead of Response.Write(pdf.OpenPDFfromURL());

Use ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), “pdfscript”, pdf.OpenPDFfromURL());

Future improvement areas

– Try to overcome some browsers popup blocking and user action required to enable it

Thirt party application problematic areas

– may show login page if site requires authentication/redirection

– may show blank area for iframes
