Generate a pdf from view Mvc 3
Question
Today I received a task to generate a pdf from view .... as I am beginner in programming ... someone would help me with this task .. passing some tips .. where to start researching. Pos'm having difficulty doing this task. I tried to use an example in this link http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/260470/PDF-reporting-using-ASP-NET-MVC3 but it always throws an error in this part of the code
public byte[] Render(string htmlText, string pageTitle)
{
byte[] renderedBuffer;
using (var outputMemoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var pdfDocument = new Document(PageSize.A4, HorizontalMargin, HorizontalMargin, VerticalMargin, VerticalMargin))
{
PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDocument, outputMemoryStream);
pdfWriter.CloseStream = false;
pdfWriter.PageEvent = new PrintHeaderFooter { Title = pageTitle };
pdfDocument.Open();
using (var htmlViewReader = new StringReader(htmlText))
{
using (var htmlWorker = new HTMLWorker(pdfDocument))
{
htmlWorker.Parse(htmlViewReader);// erro here
}
}
}
renderedBuffer = new byte[outputMemoryStream.Position];
outputMemoryStream.Position = 0;
outputMemoryStream.Read(renderedBuffer, 0, renderedBuffer.Length);
}
return renderedBuffer;
}

It is not answer to your question per se, but we are mostly using NReco.PDF
And example of the code to generate PDF from HTML content would be:
var htmlContent = String.Format("<body>Hello world: {0}</body>",
DateTime.Now);
var htmlToPdf = new NReco.PdfGenerator.HtmlToPdfConverter();
var pdfBytes = htmlToPdf.GeneratePdf(htmlContent);
So only thing missing in this example is getting output of you MVC controller as HTML.
