I found a piece of code: url2pdf

Download:
https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html

C# code:

Copy

public void wkhtmltopdf(string filePath, string fileName, string url)
        {
            Process p = new Process();
            //wkhtmltopdf The path where the plug-in is installed
            string dllstr = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "wkhtmltopdf\\wkhtmltopdf.exe";
            //string dllstr = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\wkhtmltopdf.exe";
            if (System.IO.File.Exists(dllstr))
            {
                string savepath = Path.Combine(filePath, fileName);
                p.StartInfo.FileName = dllstr;

                StringBuilder paramsBuilder = new StringBuilder();
                paramsBuilder.Append("--page-width " + txt_width.Text + "mm ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--zoom 1.2 ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--disable-smart-shrinking ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--page-height " + txt_height.Text + "mm ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--margin-bottom 0mm ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--margin-left 0mm ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--margin-right 0mm ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--margin-top 0mm ");
                paramsBuilder.AppendFormat("\"{0}\" \"{1}\"", url, savepath);
                p.StartInfo.Arguments = paramsBuilder.ToString();
                //p.StartInfo.Arguments = " \"" + url + "\"  \"" + savepath + "\"";

                p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
                p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
                p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
                p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

                p.Start();
                p.WaitForExit();
            }
        }
