You can find updated information on this topic in “HTML to PDF Conversion Using ASP.NET Core in Linux Docker,” written on August 20, 2018.

Syncfusion is happy to share that HTML-to-PDF conversion based on a version of the WebKit rendering engine that does not rely on web services is coming soon to the .NET Core platform. It can run on Windows, Linux, and Mac. With this, you will be able to generate high-quality PDF documents from HTML files. The resulting PDF document will look like the browser view.

The ASP.NET Core application with HTML-to-PDF conversion can be hosted on the most popular web servers, including Apache HTTP server, Nginx, and IIS.
