Following is the code for convert webpage to pdf using itextsharp


protected void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
            StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
            Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);
            PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
            pdfDoc.Open();
            XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().ParseXHtml(writer, pdfDoc, sr);
            pdfDoc.Close();
            Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
            Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=HTML.pdf");
            Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
            Response.Write(pdfDoc);
            Response.End();

}



This gives me "The document has no pages" in this line
pdfDoc.Close();



How can I resolve this

What I have tried:

I added itextsharp dll file and
using iTextSharp.tool.xml;

both

Looks like you've forgotten to render anything to the StringWriter before creating the StringReader. You're passing an empty string to the ParseXHtml method, so there's no content to add to the document.

I found, that iTestSharp has problem with tag <br>.

Use <br/> instead.
