I have a lot of tables with lot of rows and columns which I am trying to export into a pdf on a button click in an asp.net webform. This data looks good in a listview. I used iTextSharp, but I couldn't figure out how to export listview to pdf using iTextSharp. So I used datatable and it didn't look very well with iTextSharp. I came across "Spire.DataExport for .NET" but it doesn't seem to be available freely.
Please let me know what's the best way to export a listview into a pdf in asp.net.
UPDATE:
I tried using wkhtmltopdf from codaxy's github link. But even for a simple html line, the conversion is failing from the c# code. Any help on this will be really appreciated, as I have spent a lot of time on this getting nowhere.
c# code:
PdfConvert.ConvertHtmlToPdf(
new PdfDocument { Html = "<html><h1>test</h1></html>" },
new PdfOutput { OutputFilePath = "inline.pdf" }
);
Error::
Server Error in '/JobCosting' Application.
Html to PDF conversion of '-' failed. Wkhtmltopdf output:
