How do you install wkhtmltopdf in ASP.net MVC 3? Where do you even begin?? I have tried to read documentation on google, but it hardly makes any sense at all.

Copy wkhtmltopdf folder containing dlls and exe to your web directory, you can also copy it to bin folder. Then use following code
Dim p As Process
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo()
psi.UseShellExecute = False
psi.FileName = """" + Server.MapPath("~/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.exe") + """"
psi.CreateNoWindow = True
psi.RedirectStandardInput = True
psi.RedirectStandardOutput = True
psi.RedirectStandardError = True
psi.Arguments = " """ & <url> & """ """ & <Output path> & """ "
Try
p.WaitForExit(15000)
Finally
p.Close()
p.Dispose()
End Try

you can add this code in your controller in action like Function WritePDF() As ActionResult
End Function – makwana.a Dec 31 '13 at 05:18
