Docs created like this are limited to 60 seconds to render, check out the async example which allows 10 minutes.
We have guides for doing some of the common things:
- Headers and Footers including page skipping
- CSS Media Selector to make the page look exactly as it does in your browser
- Protect content with HTTP authentication or proxies so only DocRaptor can access them
Converting HTML into PDF and XLS documents with .NET is fast and painless with DocRaptor. Just POST to our Docs API with your HTML content and some required parameters, either as a form serialized string or a JSON object.
Below you’ll find complete examples for .NET, but our API Reference Guide has all the details about the complete workings of the Docs API.
With DocRaptor, your PDF content is HTML and its style is CSS - things you already know! Even still, it can be difficult to get your PDF to look just right. Check out our Style and Formatting Documentation for everything related getting a perfectly styled PDF!
