4. Use the following code sample in Program.cs to load the HTML converted document into PDF document Grid.

C#

//Initialize the HTML to PDF converter.
HtmlToPdfConverter htmlConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter();
//Initialize the blink converter settings
BlinkConverterSettings blinkConverterSettings = new BlinkConverterSettings();
//Set blink viewport size
blinkConverterSettings.ViewPortSize = new Size(612, 792);
//Assign Blink converter settings to HTML converter
htmlConverter.ConverterSettings = blinkConverterSettings;
string htmlContent = File.ReadAllText(Path.GetFullPath("../../../sample.html"));
string baseURL = "";

//Convert URL to PDF
PdfDocument document = htmlConverter.Convert(htmlContent,baseURL);

MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
document.Save(memoryStream);
memoryStream.Position = 0;
//Close the document
document.Close(true);
//Load the converted document
PdfLoadedDocument doc = new PdfLoadedDocument(memoryStream);
//Get the first page from a document.
PdfLoadedPage page = doc.Pages[0] as PdfLoadedPage;
//Create the page as template
PdfTemplate pdfTemplate= page.CreateTemplate();

//Create a new PDF document.
PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument();
//Create the page.
PdfPage pdfPage = pdfDocument.Pages.Add();

//Create a new PdfGrid.
PdfGrid pdfGrid = new PdfGrid();
pdfGrid.Columns.Add(3);
pdfGrid.Columns[0].Width = 100;
pdfGrid.Columns[1].Width = 100;
pdfGrid.Columns[2].Width = 100;
pdfGrid.Rows.Add();
pdfGrid.Rows.Add();
pdfGrid.Rows.Add();
pdfGrid.Rows[0].Height = 100;
pdfGrid.Rows[1].Height = 100;
pdfGrid.Rows[2].Height = 100;

pdfGrid.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value = "S.No";
pdfGrid.Rows[0].Cells[1].Value = "Name";
pdfGrid.Rows[0].Cells[2].Value = "Values";

//Call the event handler to draw the HTML converted document in a particular cell. 
pdfGrid.BeginCellLayout += PdfGrid_BeginCellLayout;
//Draw a grid to the page of a PDF document.
pdfGrid.Draw(pdfPage, new PointF(10, 250));

//Draw a grid to the page of a PDF document
FileStream fileStream = new FileStream("HTML-to-PDF.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
//Save and close the PDF document.
pdfDocument.Save(fileStream);
pdfDocument.Close(true);
void PdfGrid_BeginCellLayout(object sender, PdfGridBeginCellLayoutEventArgs args)
{
   if ( !args.IsHeaderRow)
   {
       //Draw the converted document in the cell graphics  
       args.Graphics.DrawPdfTemplate(pdfTemplate, new PointF(args.Bounds.X, args.Bounds.Y) , new SizeF(args.Bounds.Width, args.Bounds.Height));
   }
}
