I was wondering if it is possible to use ASPXtoPDF control to create the PDF document of aspx page, but without launching the page. I was asked to automate a task of submitting .pdf document to a customer directly from the list of pending requests. Basically, I have a table of customer ids and I want to be able to click on the id to trigger pdf creation. Ideally, I would like to save the file and then attach it to the e-mail so it is ready to go.
Thank you!

Hi,
You would just call HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl or HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml (if you have the HTML) directly. If you call HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml, you usually also need to set HtmlToPdf.Options.BaseUrl.
You can have HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl/ConvertHtml to output to a file directly, or output to a PdfDocument object, then call Save on PdfDocument to it to a file/stream. Once you have the file, you can do whatever you would like to do, such as emailing it.
Thanks!
