In my code i try to download the pdf file of my view by clicking on Export button but unable to download it.
I want to download the view same as i see on my browser.
I installed iTextSharp.pdf for downloading pdf.
IMP:
1. I create a action method name GetSelectedTemplate where i get data and fetch that all data to the GetSelectedTemplate.cshtml view.
2. in that view when i click on export button i want to download the pdf (same as view -> all data and design (like a scrrenshot)) of view.
I write Pdf downloading code in another action method "Export".
What I have tried:
Controller: <pre>[HttpGet]
public async Task<ActionResult> GetSelectedTemplate(int TempId)
{
JobSeeker objJ = new JobSeeker();
BALJobSeeker objBAL = new BALJobSeeker();
List<JobSeeker> jobSeekers = new List<JobSeeker>();
objJ.TemplateId = TempId;
SqlDataReader dr = await objBAL.TemplateNameDetails(objJ);
// Retrieve lists from session
ViewBag.BasicList = HttpContext.Session["BasicList"];
ViewBag.QualificationList = HttpContext.Session["QualificationList"];
ViewBag.EmployementList = HttpContext.Session["EmployementList"];
ViewBag.ProjectList = HttpContext.Session["ProjectList"];
ViewBag.CertificationList = HttpContext.Session["CertificationList"];
ViewBag.SkillsExperienceList = HttpContext.Session["SkillsExperienceList"];
// Retrieve the objective value from the query string
string objective = Request.QueryString["ProfileSummary"];
// Pass ObjectiveBag data to another controller through the TempData.
//TempData["ObjectiveBag"] = objective;
ViewBag.ObjectiveBag = TempData["ObjectiveBag"];
if (await dr.ReadAsync())
{
string templateName = dr["TemplateName"].ToString();
if (templateName == "Resume_Template_1")
{
return View("GetSelectedTemplate");
}
else if (templateName == "Resume_Template_3")
{
return View("GetSelectedTemplate2");
}
else if(templateName == "Resume_Template_2")
{
return View("GetSelectedTemplate3");
}
else
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
}
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public FileResult Export(string PdfHtml)
{
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
using (StringReader sr = new StringReader(PdfHtml))
{
Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 100f, 0f);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, stream);
pdfDoc.Open();
XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().ParseXHtml(writer, pdfDoc, sr);
pdfDoc.Close();
}
return File(stream.ToArray(), "application/pdf", "Resume.pdf");
}
}
