How to open PDF with NuGet Code - Select.HtmlToPdf

Here is my code and it works (I used NuGet package Select.HtmlToPdf. Document.Save saves the PDF instead I would like the PDF open for user to review (instead of saving in computer)
HtmlToPdf converter = new HtmlToPdf();
// create a new pdf document converting an url
PdfDocument doc = converter.ConvertUrl("www.cnn.com");
// save pdf document
doc.Save.(Response, false, "test.pdf"); // false: will not save the document
// close pdf document
doc.Close();

To open in browser, after PDFDocument initiated:
PdfDocument doc = converter.ConvertHtmlString("www.cnn.com");
byte[] bytes = doc.Save();
string mimeType = "Application/pdf";
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = mimeType;
Response.OutputStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
Response.Flush();
Response.End();

Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown. exception while generatinf pdf of gridview using Itextsharper

Hi I am getting an error of OOM while generating pdf from gridview data. Its working fine for 40k records but after that error is generating. My script is as
CreditInvoiceViewModel obj = new CreditInvoiceViewModel();
ResolveKeys(obj);
obj.PrepareForExcelInView(sno);
GridView gvReport = new GridView();
gvReport.AllowPaging = false;
gvReport.DataSource = obj.xresultDataset.Tables[0];
gvReport.DataBind();
string attachment = "attachment; filename=Employee.pdf";
Response.ClearContent();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", attachment);
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
StringWriter stw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htextw = new HtmlTextWriter(stw);
gvReport.RenderControl(htextw);
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, Response.OutputStream);
document.Open();
StringReader str = new StringReader(stw.ToString());
HTMLWorker htmlworker = new HTMLWorker(document);
htmlworker.Parse(str);
document.Close();
Response.Write(document);
Response.End();
I am getting dt in less than 1 mint for more than one 100,000 records but the only line " htmlworker.Parse(str);" is culprit. I have also tried AddCell(ph) methods but gives even poor result than upper code. Even tried sql2pdf Stored procedure but all fails for huge data.
I have to print about 200,000 records as invoice with 9-10 columns.I am using Window 7,sqlserver 2008,visual studio 2010,.net framework 4.5. Have done so much r&d. Please suggest any idea. Thanks in advance. I can't change any RAM or server so please suggest only code specific changes.

Generating PDF using itestsharp

I'm trying to generate a pdf file using itextsharp.
Here is the method that's supposed to generate the PDF:
private void Page_onPreRenderComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// createPdf.GeneratePDF(htmlMarkup);
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
StringBuilder sBuilder = new StringBuilder();
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sBuilder);
HtmlTextWriter htmlText = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
Page.RenderControl(htmlText);
string pdfBody = sBuilder.ToString();
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, memoryStream);
document.Open();
StyleSheet styles = new StyleSheet();
HTMLWorker hw = new HTMLWorker(document);
try
{
hw.Parse(new StringReader(pdfBody));
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string msg = ex.Message;
}
finally
{
document.Close();
}
HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearContent();
HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearHeaders();
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=outfile.pdf");
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(memoryStream);
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
}
an error is generated on the line within the try block. How can I fix this?

may be the image tags etc are in relative paths instead of absolute paths in the rendered HTML

How to Change Font Size of my Pdf document using iTextSharp

We are unable to change font size of pdf generated from below code anybody can help us?
We would like to convert that html file into pdf after changing the font size.
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
protected void ConvertToPDFNow()
{
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter w = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
print.RenderControl(w);
string htmWrite = sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.pdf");
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
htmWrite = Regex.Replace(htmWrite, "</?(a|A).*?>", "");
htmWrite = htmWrite.Replace("\r\n", "");
StringReader reader = new StringReader(htmWrite);
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
//Creating Document of A4 Size
HTMLWorker parser = new HTMLWorker(doc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, Response.OutputStream);
doc.Open();
try
{
//rendering Html File
parser.Parse(reader);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
finally
{
doc.Close();
}
}

try to apply stylesheet:
...
var style = new StyleSheet();
style.LoadTagStyle("body", "size", "12px");
parser.SetStyleSheet(style);
...

The C# code below works fantastically to change itextpdf font size:
var style = new StyleSheet();
style.LoadTagStyle("body", "size", "8px");
HTMLWorker htmlworker = new HTMLWorker(document);
htmlworker.SetStyleSheet(style);

Running out the PDF page while generating PDF using iTextSharp.dll

my code is like this in Load Event..
string fileContents;
string FilePath = Server.MapPath("print-withoutlogin.html");
StreamReader mstrFileStreamReader = new StreamReader(FilePath);
try
{
fileContents = mstrFileStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
byte[] result = createPDF(fileContents.ToString()).GetBuffer();
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", result.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("Accept-Ranges", "bytes");
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("Expires", "0");
Response.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");

catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
finally
{
mstrFileStreamReader.Close();

and
private MemoryStream createPDF(string html)
{
MemoryStream msOutput = new MemoryStream();
TextReader reader = new StringReader(html);
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 0, 0, 50, 50);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, msOutput);
HTMLWorker worker = new HTMLWorker(document);
//worker.SetStyleSheet(styles);
// 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();
return msOutput;
}

Have you Considered using Crystal Reports? I find it much easier and you can use
pdfStream = (MemoryStream)report.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
