In this blog post I will illustrate how you could convert an XHTML page into PDF using the flying-saucer<\/a> library. This is a Java library so we need to first step would be to convert it to a .NET assembly.<\/p>\n

I will use the IKVM.NET Bytecode Compiler (ikvmc.exe)<\/a> for this purpose. So go ahead and download both the flying-saucer library and the IKVM project. Then run the following command:<\/p>\n

ikvmc.exe -target:library -out:CoreRenderer.dll iText-2.0.8.jar core-renderer.jar<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
This will generate the CoreRenderer.dll assembly which could be used. And finally we would create an application which would use it inside a console application:\"sourcecode395858614\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
One last step is to ensure that you have referenced the following assemblies:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/a>\"todelka1267959470\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Those assemblies are part of the IKVM project and have dependencies on many other assemblies that are included with it. So the final folder should contain all those:<\/p>\n
\"todelka21971161995\"<\/a><\/p>\n
And that\u2019s pretty much all. When you run the console application it should generate the output PDF file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
