Hi
Seems that there is no freeware way to convert URL to PDF. I have found some free opensources, like:
http://www.htmldoc.org
http://www.pdfsharp.net/

I have tried to implement simple convertor and realize that the main problem is to collect all images, css and JS from URL. Did you met the same problem?
The simplest but ugly way is to create .Net WebBrowser, navigate to specified URL and save it :) Also, u can try to use regex to extract images, css, scripts, etc.

Sorry, but I have not finished solution to answer your question...

Hi, first sorry about my english.

I have to do somthing similar a few moths ago. But in Winforms app.

May be you can turn it into web app.

Step 1:

With WebBrowser object. Use the hidden method (DrawToBitmap).
Save the url as a Image

Step 2:
With iTesxtSharp, pdfsharp.net or some similar tool. I make a blank pdf with 1 image tag. Put the image inside.

Step 3
Save the pdf.

Done.

Let me know if you want my App for testing

cheers
