I'm trying to use the PDF conversion as described here http://www.mojoportal.com/adding-a-save-to-pdf-feature-using-an-external-service.aspx

but I end up with mangled text and even the wrong page being converted (not the one I was looking at when I clicked the button).

I'm wondering whether this could be integrated more tightly into mojoPortal using something like this:

http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/

which has a c# wrapper here

https://github.com/pruiz/WkHtmlToXSharp

This can be referenced in .Net and you just pass any page to it and it creates the PDF which you can then open in a new window. No 3rd-party web site or advertising etc.

An example (passing in URL and filename):

...

Dim fullfilepath As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("HtmlToPdfStorageDirectory") + "\\" + outputFilename + ".pdf"
  If a Is Nothing Then
   a = New WkHtmlToXSharp.MultiplexingConverter()
  End If
  a.GlobalSettings.Margin.Top = "20mm"
  a.GlobalSettings.Margin.Bottom = "15mm"
  a.GlobalSettings.Margin.Left = "20mm"
  a.GlobalSettings.Margin.Right = "20mm"
  a.GlobalSettings.Orientation = WkHtmlToXSharp.PdfOrientation.Portrait
  a.ObjectSettings.Page = Url
  a.ObjectSettings.Web.EnableJavascript = True
  a.ObjectSettings.Web.Background = True
  a.ObjectSettings.Web.LoadImages = True

  Dim res As Byte() = a.Convert()
  File.WriteAllBytes(fullfilepath, res)

etc

Ah OK - a poor solution, though we might run with it as a custom feature using a Win service as you suggest.

Problem is the http://www.web2pdfconvert.com service creates an unusable result (even from the mojoPortal documentation page); the page heading text is all mixed up.

So just wondering if there's anything better coming along?

cheers
