Formatting Using ConversionOptions

DynamicPDF HTML Converter supports formatting PDF output using the ConversionOptions class. Features include adding PDF metadata and formatting the PDF document. For more details, refer to the ConversionOptions API documentation. The following example illustrates some formatting you can apply to a document.

string outputDocumentPath = "./tale-two-cities--document.pdf";
string taleOfTwoCities = "https://www.gutenberg.org/files/98/98-h/98-h.htm";
Uri resolvePath = new Uri(taleOfTwoCities);
double leftRightMarginsPts = 36;
double topBottomMarginsPts = 144;

ConversionOptions conversionOptions = new ConversionOptions(PageSize.Letter, 
  PageOrientation.Portrait, leftRightMarginsPts, topBottomMarginsPts);
conversionOptions.Author = "Charles Dickens";
conversionOptions.Creator = "James B";
conversionOptions.Title = "A Tale of Two Cities";
conversionOptions.Subject = "Guttenberg press version of Charles Dickens\'s"
  + "A Tale of Two Cities.";
conversionOptions.Header = "<div style = 'text-align:center;width:100%"
  + ";font-size:15em;'>A Tale of Two Cities</div>";
Converter.Convert(resolvePath, outputDocumentPath, conversionOptions);

Dim outputDocumentPath As String = "./tale-two-cities--document.pdf"
Dim taleOfTwoCities As String = "https://www.gutenberg.org/files/98/98-h/98-h.htm"
Dim resolvePath As Uri = New Uri(taleOfTwoCities)
Dim leftRightMarginsPts As Double = 36
Dim topBottomMarginsPts As Double = 144

Dim conversionOptions As ConversionOptions = New ConversionOptions(PageSize.Letter,
  PageOrientation.Portrait, leftRightMarginsPts, topBottomMarginsPts)
conversionOptions.Author = "Charles Dickens"
conversionOptions.Creator = "James B"
conversionOptions.Title = "A Tale of Two Cities"
conversionOptions.Subject = "Guttenberg press version of Charles Dickens\'s" &
  "A Tale of Two Cities."
conversionOptions.Header = "<div style = 'text-align:center;width:100%" & 
  ";font-size:15em;'>A Tale of Two Cities</div>"
Converter.Convert(resolvePath, outputDocumentPath, conversionOptions)
