I have created an application in asp.net MVC 3, I used highchart.js for rendering chart(stacked column) in view and its output is coming as svg.
I need to convert this chart page into PDF file. I tried iTextSharp but its not showing the chart page content.
Is there anyway to convert html 5 to PDF?
ExpertPDF is a nuget package you can install. For it to work without putting text over your pdf, you'll have to purchase a license. It can handle svg.

You can also use a webkit component such as HTM2PDF to render HTML to PDF - see an explanation here:
Highcharts to PDF with Webkit
If you just want to convert svg to image then you can use PhantomJS (headless webkit browser). With help of PhantomJS you can render svg and make screenshot. Then you can create a PDF and insert that image into it.
Also you can Aspose.Pdf for converting svg into PDF directly. See: http://www.aspose.com/.net/pdf-component.aspx (it's a paid component!)

i had a little question, i want to embed a pdf like it were part of the website, i could rewrite the pdf in html but it will be a lot of work, what would be the best looking option to embed it?
The pdf has pictures and letters with fonts and columns.
Thanks.
I would go with one of the two approaches. One is a native rendering of the PDF content in a DOM node, using PDF.js. It is an open source library that's used as the default PDF viewer in Firefox.
Another way is to emulate the look by converting the PDF pages to images when the PDF is uploaded. You may use imagemagick to parse the pages, and display the content in a slideshow/gallery widget.
Basically a simple question:
In php you have mpdf/tcpdf etc libraries that convert your HTML/CSS as is into a pdf file.
I have now a JSP page from where i open up a popup JSP including kind of a organizational chart with divs created from HTML/CSS. Is it possible that i can just take this whole popup and convert it somehow into a pdf file -> in chrome you have the option of save as pdf -- and that works it creates a pdf file successfully ! But i want the website to create a pdf itself without browser plugin. Is it possible? Does Java/JSP have such an option to convert pure HTML/CSS to pdf?
You could use Wkhtmltopdf to convert from HTML to PDF. https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
I am trying to export an html page that contains html form and canvas to a pdf file (after onclick event (button)). I already been aware of wkhtmltopdf and PhantomJS but I think that it cannot be implemented as it should.

A flash file can be embedded in a PDF document. Does anyone know if it is also possible to embed an HTML webpage?
Added:
I don't mean just a plain HTML document, but a webpage with Javascript too.
The answer is no.
While you can embed videos, sounds and SWF files in a PDF, dynamic HTML files aren't supported. (Adobe AIR is more suitable to package and distribute HTML files).
The best you can do in a PDF is to use the ATTACH option in Adobe Acrobat. This will "attach" any file with the PDF document similar to how you add an attachment with an email. But the attachment can't be viewed within the PDF document, and has to be opened separately.
More info:
Javascript can be added to PDF files and used to manipulate various elements within the PDF file.
Not directly. Depending on what you're looking for, however, you can use something like dompdf (PHP) to generate a PDF file from an HTML document, then merge that document with your original. It even supports JavaScript, up to the level Adobe Reader supports JavaScript.
That said, the PDF file format is really for things you want to print (i.e. want to look the same everywhere), not things you want to click on (i.e. look sensible everywhere). Adobe's decision to include Flash support was probably made from a marketing standpoint, not a technical one.
The best workaround would be to create a web/html viewer in Adobe Flash and embed that in a PDF as an SWF. There is an option to "Add SWF" in Acrobat under "Rich Media."
Created a NPM module that allows you to add custom HTML and CSS to PDF's.
const pdf = require('add-html-to-pdf');
var options = {
input: 'sample.pdf',
output: 'done.pdf',
html: "<div style='color:red'>This is awesome!</div>",
useDocker: true
}
pdf.insertHTMLInPDF(options);
You could reconstruct the html, css and js on the web page using php.
Im using a plugin with a wordpress site that is pretty outdated but works very well for creating pdfs with html, css and javascript.
it's called tcpdf
plugins/tcpdf/tcpdf.php
https://tcpdf.org/examples/
the pdf is made on the fly as a function.
I am trying to generate a printable version of the HTML page, the printable version should have left pane and top pane stripped off. I tried to generate the printable version using JQuery, it has some layout issues while getting the stripped of content into the print preview screen(which is another stripped off HTML in pop up window).
Is there any ready made open source tool which converts HTML to PDF without much effort, because I have already lost quite a bit of time trying to explore in JQuery
I am using Grid 960 template layout
When you have processed the html, wkhtmltopdf (Windows/Mac/Linux) can convert it to pdf. wkhtmltopdf is a cross-platform, open source (LGPLv3) command line tool to render HTML into PDF and various image formats using the Qt WebKit rendering engine. These run entirely "headless" and do not require a display or display service.
wkhtmltopdf can be downloaded from the official wkhtmltopdf website. It is also in the default repositories of most common Linux distributions.
Examples
Convert a remote HTML file to PDF:
wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com example.pdf
Convert a local HTML file to PDF:
wkhtmltopdf example.html example.pdf
wkhtmltopdf usage You can also display the wkhtmltopdf help locally by running wkhtmltopdf -H.
why not just use a print stylesheet, and let your users print to PDF if they want to?
