How to convert webpage to PDF using Print CSS
Some web pages have special CSS that is used to style a web page when it is printed. By default, when converting a web page to PDF our converter makes the PDF look like what appears in the browser. To do this our converter uses the Screen Media Type.
However, in some cases a print version of a web page may convert to PDF better. To do this you need to instruct GrabzIt to use the print CSS Media Type when converting the web page, as shown below.
//The client should be stored somewhere and reused!
GrabzItClient grabzIt = new GrabzItClient("Sign in to view your Application Key", "Sign in to view your Application Secret", client);
PDFOptions options = new PDFOptions();
options.CSSMediaType = CSSMediaType.Print;
grabzIt.URLToPDF("http://www.bbc.com", options);
await grabzIt.SaveAsync("http://www.mywebsite.com/Home/Handler");
GrabzItClient grabzIt = new GrabzItClient("Sign in to view your Application Key", "Sign in to view your Application Secret");
PDFOptions options = new PDFOptions();
options.setCSSMediaType(CSSMediaType.PRINT);
grabzIt.URLToPDF("http://www.bbc.com", options);
grabzIt.Save("http://www.mywebsite.com/handler");
