Rendering (2/2)

Error: Could not save image

Your issue is that you are attempting to use wkhtmltoimage.exe to generate a PDF. Use wkhtmltopdf.exe instead and you should be fine.

C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf>wkhtmltopdf.exe www.google.com go.pdf

As far as your question, I don't really believe that there is a perfect tool. I have been very satisfied with wkhtmltopdf however.

I'm a fan of DocRaptor. It's easy to integrate into web apps and can use C# to convert HTML to PDF or XLS format.

Here's a link showing how to use it
