[Dinesh]

Hi Team,

I have a requirement to convert the HTML which contains real time data's example text, table, image formats etc into PDF format. I referred the following thread but it has two different KB links and different samples are provided in it and i get confused on that how to use this.

Am new to Syncfusion.Xamarin.PDF control. So, Can you please provide me one simple demo sample to understand how it works?

I think it will be more useful for others who are looking the same from application development engineers as like me.

Please note share the sample in Xamarin Forms.

Please do the needful asap. Request you to please don't update temp updates.

Hi Dinesh, 

Thank you for using Syncfusion products. 

Currently, we do not have native support for converting HTML to PDF in Xamarin. As a workaround, we can achieve this requirement by using web service. You can use it only by creating the web service of your own. Web service will be created in .NET Framework and the endpoints will be used for the conversion in Xamarin application. We have shared the samples for your reference. Kindly try the sample in your end and let us know if it is suites your requirement. 

Please refer the below steps: 

1)          Create a Web service, and include all the HTML to PDF conversion part with in the service.  

2)          Host the Web service in local machine or remote.  

3)          Create new Xamarin project, and add the service reference of web.  

4)          Provide the input URL through the service and the PDF can be get as string. 

 

Below are the samples of the Web service and Xamarin for converting HTML to PDF using WebKit rendering engine.
