However they have different effects. As far as I know, the simplest solution that I ever seen is using iTextsharp and the code as below:
Sample Code:
string FilePath = Server.MapPath("") + "/OrderconfirmationMail.htm";
System.IO.StreamReader myFile =new System.IO.StreamReader(FilePath);
string myString = myFile.ReadToEnd();
myFile.Close();
string ImagePath = Server.MapPath("") + "\\Images\\";
myString = myString.Replace("src=\"Images/", ImagePath);
StringReader sr = new StringReader(myString);
iTextSharp.text.Document pdfDoc = new iTextSharp.text.Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4, 2f, 2f, 2f, 2f);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
string filename = Server.MapPath("") + "\\WordDoc\\parsetest3.pdf";
if (File.Exists(filename))
{
File.Delete(filename);
}
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create));
pdfDoc.Open();
htmlparser.Parse(sr);
pdfDoc.Close();
Response.Write(pdfDoc);
