iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.StyleSheet styles = new iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.StyleSheet();
styles.LoadTagStyle("table", "background", "red"); //I found this in stackoverflow but no use
StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(resHtml);
Document Doc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 50f, 20f);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(Doc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(Doc, Response.OutputStream);
Doc.Open();
htmlparser.Open();
htmlparser.Parse(stringReader);
htmlparser.SetStyleSheet(styles);
htmlparser.Close();
Doc.Close();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + filename + ".pdf");
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.Write(Doc);

Create a pdf file with textbox and CSS in c#

I am attempting to convert a tag Label of my webpage to pdf.
While the pdf generation is working correctly, none of the css styles are being applied.
I've tried applying the styles one at a time, but that doesn't seem to work.
How can we create a pdf file from html with textbox controls with CSS styles ?
My code below.
Please help me, thank you in advance.
<asp:Label ID="UserID" runat="server" BorderStyle="Double"></asp:Label>
private void PdfFiles()
{
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + Decrypt(Request.QueryString["id"].ToString()) + ".pdf");
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
panelView.RenderControl(hw);
StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 40f, 10f, 10f, 10f);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
pdfDoc.Open();
htmlparser.Parse(sr);
pdfDoc.Close();
Response.End();
}

How to preserve CSS using iTextSharp?

i have a header at the top of my front page like this:
i use iTextSharp code to generate its PDF ... but the resulting PDF do not contain this Header with black : instead some CSS is written in place of header like this:
How can i possibly fix this issue??
Code:
protected void BtnPDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=TestPage.pdf");
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
this.Page.RenderControl(hw);
StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 100f, 0f);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
pdfDoc.Open();
htmlparser.Parse(sr);
pdfDoc.Close();
Response.Write(pdfDoc);
Response.End();
}

Have you tried to use inline css? Because HTML/CSS parser in iTextSharp is not complete. So it may not work as you want.
Also check out the LoadTagStyle property of StyleSheet in iTextSharp, see if it helps.
For more details about it, see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9616429/604232

how to convert html page to pdf with css using itextsharp?

This is my code :
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=TestPage.pdf");
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
this.Page.RenderControl(hw);
StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 100f, 0f);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
pdfDoc.Open();
**htmlparser.Parse(sr);** //the exception here
pdfDoc.Close();
Response.Write(pdfDoc);
Response.End();
the error is :
Unable to cast object of type 'iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.CellWrapper' to type
'iTextSharp.text.Paragraph'.
What is this exception ?

I don't know if this is the answer, but I found that iTextSharp is picky about having valid html. My tests had a table that was opened twice and never closed and that took about an hour for me to notice. The exception was very similar to the one you have there.

use can you A4 size width & height for html deigning .

use this set od code to create pdf from html.
String htmlText = "<div>Your HTML text here</div>";
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "\\outfile.pdf", FileMode.Create));
document.Open();
iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.StyleSheet styles = new iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.StyleSheet();
iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker hw = new iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker(document);
hw.Parse(new StringReader(htmlText));
document.Close();
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=outfile.pdf");
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.WriteFile(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "\\outfile.pdf");
Response.Flush();
Response.Clear();
