In this blog, I will explain how to convert HTML documents to pdf, word, and excel. Here I am using itextSharp to convert the document.
First of all, we need to install itextshap and itextsharp.xmlworker from nuget package manager.
step1: Install ItextSharp and ItextSharp.xmlWorker
step2: In Html Page write the below code: for generating pdf file
<div id="Grid">
//Your html content
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#btnSubmit").click(function () {
$("input[name='GridHtml']").val($("#Grid").html());
});
});
</script>
step 3: Write below code in Controller
[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public FileResult Pdf(string Html)
{
using (MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
{
StringReader sr = new StringReader(Html);
Document Doc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 100f, 0f);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(Doc, stream);
Doc.Open();
XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().ParseXHtml(writer, Doc, sr);
Doc.Close();
return File(stream.ToArray(), "application", "File.pdf");
}
}
step 4: we can also do the same thing for converting HTML documents to Word and Excel.
@using (Html.BeginForm("Word", "Students", FormMethod.Post))
{
<input type="hidden" name="ExportWord" />
<input type="submit" id="btnWord" value="Word" />
}
@using (Html.BeginForm("Excel", "Students", FormMethod.Post))
{
<input type="hidden" name="ExportExcel" />
<input type="submit" id="btnExcel" value="Excel" />
}
<div id="Grid">
//Your html content
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#btnWord").click(function () {
$("input[name='GridHtml']").val($("#Grid").html());
});
});
$(function () {
$("#btnExcel").click(function () {
$("input[name='GridHtml']").val($("#Grid").html());
});
});
</script>
step 5: In Controller
[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public EmptyResult Word(string ExportWord)
{
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=file.doc");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.ContentType = "application/msword";
Response.Output.Write(ExportWord);
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
return new EmptyResult();
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public EmptyResult Excel(string ExportExcel)
{
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=ExcelExport.xls");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.Output.Write(ExportExcel);
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
return new EmptyResult();
}
step 6: Now Run the Project and See the Output.
