Using the .NET Cloud SDK, developers can easily transform web‑based content into the universally accepted PDF format by converting HTML to PDF. By invoking the HTML to PDF conversion feature through .NET REST API calls, you can embed this capability into both web and desktop applications. This guide walks you through the steps needed to convert HTML webpages into PDF within your cross‑platform C# and .NET projects.

Steps to Convert HTML to PDF with C# .NET REST API

1. Sign up and get your API credentials from the GroupDocs Cloud Dashboard.
2. Install GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud SDK for .NET using the NuGet package.
3. Set up the configurations using the Configuration class.
4. Initialize the ConvertApi class to handle the conversion.
5. Load the HTML file from local storage to convert it to PDF.
6. Define the conversion settings using the ConvertDocumentDirectRequest method, specifying PDF as the target format.
7. Invoke the ConvertDocumentDirect method to transform the HTML webpage into a PDF document and save the output locally or on cloud storage.

These steps help you convert HTML files to PDF documents using the .NET REST API and save the PDFs locally. After installing the .NET Cloud SDK from NuGet, you can initialize the Configuration class with your AppSID and AppKey. Then, you can load the source HTML file from local storage. Next, you can set the desired conversion settings using ConvertDocumentDirectRequest. Lastly, you convert the file into PDF format using the ConvertDocumentDirect method and save it to your local storage.
