PODisplaying a web page as a pdf with click of a button

Body
copied!<p>I have a new requirement to have a button in my web page, and upon clicking, it displays the web page as a PDF. On researching I found that <code>iTextSharp</code> is used for such purpose. But I have many <code>Telerik</code> and ASP controls in my web page too. Can I get that also in the PDF using <code>iTextSharp</code>?</p> <p>If yes then can anyone please provide me a basic link to start using <code>iTextSharp</code> as I haven't came across this tool yet.</p> <p>According to the answer from @ahaliav I tried with the following code. However, I'm not getting the controls on the pdf.</p> <pre><code> protected void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=TestPage.pdf"); Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); MemoryStream msOutput = new MemoryStream(); TextReader reader = new StringReader(HtmlContent); // step 1: creation of a document-object Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 30, 30, 30, 30); HTMLWorker worker = new HTMLWorker(document); // step 2: // we create a writer that listens to the document // and directs a XML-stream to a file PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, Response.OutputStream); // step 3: we create a worker parse the document // step 4: we open document and start the worker on the document document.Open(); worker.StartDocument(); // step 5: parse the html into the document worker.Parse(reader); // step 6: close the document and the worker worker.EndDocument(); worker.Close(); document.Close(); //Response.Write(document); //Response.End(); } protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) { // setup a TextWriter to capture the markup TextWriter tw = new StringWriter(); HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(tw); // render the markup into our surrogate TextWriter base.Render(htw); // get the captured markup as a string string pageSource = tw.ToString(); // render the markup into the output stream verbatim writer.Write(pageSource); // remove the viewstate field from the captured markup HtmlContent = Regex.Replace(pageSource, "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"__VIEWSTATE\" id=\"__VIEWSTATE\" value=\".*?\" />", "", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); // the page source, without the viewstate field, is in viewStateRemoved // do what you like with it } </code></pre> <p>Please help . I have other option also,that is to display the image of the full web page when i click a button.Can anyone guide me to any possible directions for these two issues please.</p> <p>I finally changed my code as:</p> <pre><code> Response.ContentType = "application/msword"; Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=TestPage.doc"); Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); MemoryStream msOutput = new MemoryStream(); </code></pre> <p>With this i am able to get the msword document containing all my controls ,but i am also getting some unwanted texts,how can i remove that,if anyone encountered the same problem?</p>
