Winnovative HTML to PDF Converter for .NET Documentation

Winnovative HTML to PDF Converter allows you to add watermarks and stamps to generated PDF document. The watermarks and stamps are implemented using WinnovativeTemplate objects which are repeated in each page of the generated PDF document. In a template you can add any PDF element that you can normally add in a PDF page, including HtmlToPdfElement objects or HtmlToPdfVariableElement.

Code Sample - Add Watermarks and Stamps to Generated PDF Document

protected void convertToPdfButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Create a HTML to PDF converter object with default settings
    HtmlToPdfConverter htmlToPdfConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter();

    // Set license key received after purchase to use the converter in licensed mode
    // Leave it not set to use the converter in demo mode
    htmlToPdfConverter.LicenseKey = "fvDh8eDx4fHg4P/h8eLg/+Dj/+jo6Og=";

    // Set an adddional delay in seconds to wait for JavaScript or AJAX calls after page load completed
    // Set this property to 0 if you don't need to wait for such asynchcronous operations to finish
    htmlToPdfConverter.ConversionDelay = 2;

    Document pdfDocument = null;
    try
    {
        // Convert a HTML page to a PDF document object
        pdfDocument = htmlToPdfConverter.ConvertUrlToPdfDocumentObject(urlTextBox.Text);

        // Get the stamp width and height
        float stampWidth = float.Parse(stampWidthTextBox.Text);
        float stampHeight = float.Parse(stampHeightTextBox.Text);

        // Center the stamp at the top of PDF page
        float stampXLocation = (pdfDocument.Pages[0].ClientRectangle.Width - stampWidth) / 2;
        float stampYLocation = 0;

        RectangleF stampRectangle = new RectangleF(stampXLocation, stampYLocation, stampWidth, stampHeight);

        // Create the stamp template to be repeated in each PDF page
        Template stampTemplate = pdfDocument.AddTemplate(stampRectangle);

        // Create the HTML element to add in stamp template
        HtmlToPdfElement stampHtmlElement = new HtmlToPdfElement(htmlStringTextBox.Text, baseUrlTextBox.Text);

        // Set the HTML viewer width for the HTML added in stamp
        stampHtmlElement.HtmlViewerWidth = 600;
        // Fit the HTML content in stamp template
        stampHtmlElement.FitWidth = true;
        stampHtmlElement.FitHeight = true;

        // Add HTML to stamp template
        stampTemplate.AddElement(stampHtmlElement);

        // Save the PDF document in a memory buffer
        byte[] outPdfBuffer = pdfDocument.Save();

        // Send the PDF as response to browser

        // Set response content type
        Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");

        // Instruct the browser to open the PDF file as an attachment or inline
        Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", String.Format("attachment; filename=Watermarks_and_Stamps.pdf; size={0}", outPdfBuffer.Length.ToString()));

        // Write the PDF document buffer to HTTP response
        Response.BinaryWrite(outPdfBuffer);

        // End the HTTP response and stop the current page processing
        Response.End();
    }
    finally
    {
        // Close the PDF document
        if (pdfDocument != null)
            pdfDocument.Close();
    }
