Which library to use best to convert static html files to pdf?

We are investigating libraries to convert static html to pdf in a .NET environment using Docker. I have tried Aspose.PDF (create Document and add HtmlFragment or create Document directly from the html string) and Aspose.Words. But now I discovered Aspose.HTML. Which Nuget package/product can I use best for this?

@srorije,

Thanks for your query.

For converting static HTML to PDF in a .NET environment using Docker, Aspose offers several options, and the best choice depends on your specific needs.

  1. Aspose.HTML - This library is specifically designed for handling HTML documents and offers capabilities for converting HTML to PDF. It supports modern HTML standards and provides robust options for handling various HTML features during conversion. If you need a dedicated solution for HTML to PDF conversion with support for modern HTML/CSS features, Aspose.HTML is a strong candidate.
  2. Aspose.PDF - Although primarily focused on PDF creation and manipulation, it can also handle HTML to PDF conversion. This library provides extensive control over the PDF generation process and is well-suited for scenarios where you need detailed control over the PDF output.
  3. Aspose.Words - This library is focused on word processing and supports conversion from various document formats (e.g., DOCX) to PDF. It can handle HTML to certain extent. if you are primarily working with word processing documents and need to convert HTML as a secondary requirement, you may use it.

I guess, for your needs to convert static HTML to PDF, the Aspose.HTML library is good choice which is designed for HTML-related tasks and should provide the best support for converting HTML to PDF with modern standards/specifications and features which might be required for your advanced scenarios.
