When you are facing a problem in generating pdf from the server-side then play in the safe zone and try the client-side as shown below. { Layout= "yourlayout" } "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.3.min.js" > "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/0.9.0rc1/jspdf.min.js" > "Wrapper" > // whole view inside the wrapper which you want to download as pdf "cmd" >Generate PDF var doc = new jsPDF(); var specialElementHandlers = { '#editor' : function (element, renderer) { return true ; } }; $( '#cmd' ).click(function () { doc.fromHTML($( '#Wrapper' ).html(), 15, 15, { 'width' : 170, 'elementHandlers' : specialElementHandlers }); doc.save( 'sample-file.pdf' ); });

Given a view page, you can use the Virtual Printer in the LEADTOOLS SDK to convert a page to a PDF in a .NET Core app. The Virtual Printer can be used to capture a print job, and then used to save the image to the file. This supports a large variety of other file format which you can try. Here is code that you can use to get started. LeadPrinter = new Printer(printerName); LeadPrinter.EmfEvent += new EventHandler (LeadPrinter_EmfEvent); LeadPrinter.JobEvent += new EventHandler (LeadPrinter_JobEvent); DocumentWriter = new DocumentWriter(); static void LeadPrinter_EmfEvent( object sender, EmfEventArgs e) { Metafile metaFile = new Metafile(e.Stream); DocumentWriterEmfPage documentPage = new DocumentWriterEmfPage { EmfHandle = metaFile.GetHenhmetafile() }; DocumentWriter.AddPage(documentPage); } static void LeadPrinter_JobEvent( object sender, JobEventArgs e) { string printerName = e.PrinterName; int jobID = e.JobID; if (e.JobEventState == EventState.JobStart) { OutputFile = Path.Combine(@ "C:\Temp" , Path.ChangeExtension(Path.GetRandomFileName(), "pdf" )); DocumentWriter.BeginDocument(OutputFile, DocumentFormat.Pdf); Console.WriteLine($ "Job {jobID} for {printerName} was started" ); } else if (e.JobEventState == EventState.JobEnd) { DocumentWriter.EndDocument(); Console.WriteLine($ "Job {jobID} for {printerName} was ended. PDF saved to {OutputFile}" ); } } https://www.leadtools.com/help/sdk/v21/tutorials/virtual-printer/windows/dotnet/print-to-file-using-the-virtual-printer-driver.html https://www.leadtools.com/help/sdk/v21/dh/pr/introduction.html
