Hi Im working on a MVC3 Razor project and I have been stuck on this problem for a few hours now…
I’m trying to get a html to pdf converter to serve a document to the user…
What I want is the following..
A page is rendered and displayed. On the bottom of the page there should be a little icon display something like download as pdf. and what that does is where my problem lies..
All the data that I want is dynamically created within a $("#content").html();
So what I have tried is a jquery/ajax function passing $("#content").html(); as a paramater to my function which creates the pdf (works but I have no clue how to prompt the created file to the user?)
Other solution was @(Html.ActionLink()) but I dont know how to pass the data ($("#content").html()) within that link?
And when trying to work with the functionallity to use the converter to go to the url was a dead end cuz it got its own session and got redirected to the loginpage..
Any help would be appriciated!
Figured out a workaround, what I did was write an extension to my HtmlHelper and use that to render my control into a html string instead of a view. Therefor I could use a actionlink to say render this page and get all the html data that way.
