How to Use print Media Type in HTML to WinForms PDF Conversion?

The Syncfusion® HTML to PDF converter is a .NET PDF library for converting webpages, SVG, MHTML, and HTML to PDF using C#. It is reliable and accurate. The result preserves all graphics, images, texts, fonts, and the layout of the original HTML documents or webpages.

Using this library, you can set the print media type while converting an HTML to PDF document.

Steps to use print media type while converting HTML to PDF:

1. Create a new C# Windows Forms application project.

2. Install the Syncfusion.HtmlToPdfConverter.WinForms NuGet package as a reference to your .NET Framework application from NuGet.org.

3. Include the following namespaces in the Form1.cs file:

C#

using Syncfusion.HtmlConverter;
using Syncfusion.Pdf;
using System.IO;

4. Set the MediaType property available in the BlinkConverterSettings instance to set the print media type during HTML to PDF conversion. Please find the code snippet for the same below.

C#

string url = Path.GetFullPath("../../Data/input.html");

// Initialize HTML to PDF converter
HtmlToPdfConverter htmlConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter();

BlinkConverterSettings blinkConverterSettings = new BlinkConverterSettings();

// Set MediaType property of BlinkConverterSettings
blinkConverterSettings.MediaType = MediaType.Print;

// Assign Blink settings to HTML converter
htmlConverter.ConverterSettings = blinkConverterSettings;

// Convert HTML to PDF
PdfDocument document = htmlConverter.Convert(url);

// Save and close the PDF document
document.Save("Sample.pdf");
document.Close(true);

A complete working sample can be downloaded from the HTMLtoPDF_Sample.zip.
