Html to pdf - how can we create a pdf file from html with textbox controls with CSS styles

I have a requirement where I need to write my asp.net page information into pdf file with the css styles(inline/style sheet file). While creating pdf we have to make the textboxes to labels with textbox like border and similar for dropdowns, checkboxes. Can you please help us on how to proceed?

Try DynamicPDF Converter for .NET, it is not a free tool but it can convert several different file types including HTML to PDF. It uses Internet Explorer (IE) to render the HTML and convert that to PDF. The formatting and styles of the resulting PDF will look similar to how your HTML is displayed in the IE’s print preview.

How can i get "Table of content" from PDF file and save it to the tree struct?

I really need to get table of content from a pdf file.with Aspose.pdf.dll in C# asp.net
My questions are:
What page is it(for each item)?
What is the the text of each page
for each item in table of content?

Aspose.Pdf.Generator namespace only supports the feature to create TOC while generating new PDF and Aspose.Pdf for .NET does not support the feature to manipulate TOC in existing PDF file. However for the sake of implementation, the requirement is added in issue tracking system as PDFNEWNET-34836. Once the new feature becomes available, we would be able to get the information associated with each item in TOC.

ASP.NET work and PDF

I want to use PDF file in the webpage. I want the PDF to open in a part of the Page. What code can I use? Can I use Panel?
I know how to open the PDF in full webpage but I want to open the PDF in part of the page. :)

You could render pdf file on part of your page using object or iframe HTML tags.

pdf viewer control for asp.net page?

I want to show PDF Files in my asp.net(C#) web page.I found lot of pdf viewer for .net web page.But i want to do something more than that. I meant, i have retrieved bookmarks in the PDF files programatically using C# and then displayed in the TreeView.So, Whenever user click any Node, then i want to select(highlight) the appropriate ranges of the PDF file that is displayed in the PDF Viewer.

Generating reports using custom data (html table) not dataset

I read several articles on this site and many others recommending report generating tools of various kinds but all use dataset as there datasource.
This is not my requirement!
I need some way to export the data which is displayed in the htmltable on mypage.aspx.
user clicks view record
a pdf opens (it should contain the data of the html table which is made dynamically)
I want to generate a pdf on the fly using a htmltable as a source of data and displaying it a a pdf doc in the browser but not having to save the result to the webserver.

You may take a look at iTextSharp and here's a tutorial on how to get started. There's also a section in the documentation which illustrates how to create tables in PDF documents.

Check out this thread regarding abcPDF. What you are describing is very similar to what I have used their library for. When I was originally testing out various methods, I had tried iTextSharp but found for the very minimal cost, abcPDF did everything that I required (sepcifically HTML to PDF generation) with minimal lines of code.
