Hi Arul,


Thanks for your interest in our API’s.

We have an API named Aspose.Pdf for .NET which supports the feature to read the contents of web URL and save the output in PDF format. It also offers the feature to load PDF files and save them as Image. So as per your requirement, you can load the URL contents, save the output in MemoryStream, instantiate Aspose.Pdf.Document object with same MemoryStream object and save the output in image format. For more details, please visit

We have tried with the below conversion.

Convert HTML to PDF Format → Convert Web page to PDF (C#).<?xml:namespace prefix = “o” ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” />

I tried with the same code and added additional code for license. and we are using Aspose.pdf version 9.3.0.0 (v2.0.50727).

But we are not getting the web page as it is. For example we have tried with http://www.aspose.com/ to generate a PDF file (attached with this mail). But the PDF file is not exact same as the web page. Please guide us to generate a PDF file as it is in the web page.

Hi Arul,


Thanks for sharing the details.

Please note that HTML to PDF conversion is a complex scenario and I am afraid in some scenarios (where source HTML is complex), the resultant PDF is not identical to input file. However, if you are facing an issue while converting one of your HTML files, please share the document so that we can test the scenario at our end.

Have you tried with this scenario, please try with http://www.aspose.com/ as a web page and please Convert the this web page to PDF.

Please compare the web page and the ASPOSE generated PDF file, these two’s are totally different. please provide a right solution for this.
