You may take a look at the solution below, which is based on Free Spire.PDF. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Spire.Pdf; using Spire.Pdf.HtmlConverter; using System.Drawing; using System.Threading; using System.IO; namespace ConvertUrlToPdf { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //create a PdfDocument object PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(); //create a PdfPageSettings object PdfPageSettings setting = new PdfPageSettings(); //set the page size and margins setting.Size = new SizeF(1000, 1000); setting.Margins = new Spire.Pdf.Graphics.PdfMargins(20); //create a PdfHtmlLayoutFormat object PdfHtmlLayoutFormat htmlLayoutFormat = new PdfHtmlLayoutFormat(); //wait until all HTML is completely loaded htmlLayoutFormat.IsWaiting = true ; //get the web page by its url string url = "http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/"; //load HTML Thread thread = new Thread(() => { doc.LoadFromHTML(url, false , false , false , setting, htmlLayoutFormat); }); thread .SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA); thread .Start(); thread .Join(); //save to PDF doc.SaveToFile( "output.pdf" ); } } }
