Public Class PdfConverter

The PdfConverter type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	PdfConverter	Creates a HTML to PDF converter which will use the default width of 1024 pixels to layout the HTML document. The height of the HTML document will be automatically calculated based on the default width. Because the default width of 1024 pixels might not be enough to display entirely the HTML document or because the HTML content might be scaled down to fit the PDF document page width, the other constructors allow to specify a custom width in pixels for the HTML document.
	PdfConverter(Int32)	Creates a HTML to PDF converter which will automatically calculate the height of the HTML document based on the specified width. The width in pixels of the HTML document is specified by the htmlDocWidthPx parameter. If this parameter is set to 0 or a negative value, the width of the HTML document will be automatically calculated. Because all the dimensions in the PDF document are measured in points (1 point is 1/72 inch), it might be necessary pixels to transform pixels to points and points to pixels using the UnitsConverter class in order to better control the HTML to PDF conversion.
	PdfConverter(Int32, Int32)	Creates a HTML to PDF converter using the specified width and height in pixels for the HTML document. The width in pixels of the HTML document is specified by the htmlDocWidthPx parameter. If this parameter is set to 0 or a to negative value, the width of the HTML document will be automatically calculated. The height in pixels of the HTML document is specified by the htmlDocHeightPx parameter. The HTML document will be truncated if its height exceeds the htmlDocHeightPx value. If this parameter is set to 0 or a negative value, the whole HTML document will be converted to PDF. Because all the dimensions in the PDF document are measured in points (1 point is 1/72 inch), it might be necessary to transform pixels to points and points to pixels using the UnitsConverter class in order to better control the HTML to PDF conversion.

In order to exclude from PDF for a list of HTML elements, the HtmlElementIds and HtmlTagNames properties of HtmlExcludedRegionsOptions must be set with an array of strings containing the HTML IDs or tag names of the HTML elements excluded from conversion to PDF.
	HttpCookies	Gets a collection of custom HTTP cookies to be sent by the converter to the web server when the web page to convert and the resources (image, css, etc) referenced by the web page are requested. A cookie is defined by a name and a value pair that can be added to the collection using the Add(string, string) method of the HttpCookies property. Note: This is used only by the WebKit rendering engine.
	HttpHeaders	Gets a collection of custom HTTP headers to be sent by the converter to the web server when the web page is requested from a URL. A custom HTTP header is defined by a name and a value pair that can be added to the collection using the Add(string, string) method of the HttpHeaders property. The custom HTTP headers can be used to define cookies, authentication options, URL referer or any other HTTP header to be sent to the web browser. The preferred method to send cookies is to use the HttpCookies property. Note: This is used only by the WebKit rendering engine.

	PageHeight	Gets or sets the height of the HTML document in pixels. The HTML document will be truncated if its height exceeds the specified value of this property. If this parameter is set to 0 or a negative value, the whole HTML document will be converted to PDF. Because all the dimensions in the PDF document are measured in points (1 point is 1/72 inch), it might be necessary to transform pixels to points and points to pixels using the UnitsConverter class in order to better control the HTML to PDF conversion.
	PageWidth	Gets or sets the width of the HTML document in pixels. The default width is 1024 pixels and this value can be changed by setting this property or by specifying the htmlDocWidthPx parameter in the constructor. If this property is set to 0 or a to negative value, the width of the HTML document will be automatically calculated.
