Without knowing how you saved the file - i.e. see the relevant code fragment - we would be reduced to our famous psychic powers...

Come on Griff, give us another sample of your powerfull mindreading capabilities.

OK, :ScienceFictionSoundEffect: My mindscan of his HDD says that he saved the raw HTML in a file with a .pdf extension in the firm belief that the extension is the only thing that matters, the content format is irrelevant.

Mind you, that's not psychic powers, that's cynicism!

Wooooooooooooooooooow! Completely scared now... I think I will have to put a McDonnalds paper bag on my head in order to prevent you for reading my mind... :O

If you want to, but it'll just make your hair smell of fries.
Tin foil, that's the hat you want. Tin foil. Manfred can sell you some :laugh:

One of the simplest ways to generate PDF from code is to use a PDF printer driver. I don't know what you are using now, but unless you want advanced customization, I'd recommend this approach.

As Nish Suggest, check any printer like PDFCreator[^].

Here you can use two approaches:

1. use it as a printer and simplify your job.
2. As it is a opensource project take a look at the code it uses.

Apart from that you can check the articles that are here in CP:

Pdfizer, a dumb HTML to PDF converter, in C#[^]
Generate PDF documents from a HTML page using ASP.NET[^]

HTH!
