Generate stream from HTML2PDF

[Ryan]

Question:

Can we just get pdf stream, instead of saving it to file?

using (var doc = new PDFDoc())
{
    var converter = new HTML2PDF();
    converter.InsertFromHtmlString(htmlTemplate);
    HTML2PDF.SetModulePath(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, Constants.Api.Properties.AppData, Constants.Api.Properties.Dependencies));
    if (!converter.Convert(doc)) return null;
    doc.Save(fileFullPath, SDFDoc.SaveOptions.e_linearized); // Can we avoid this step and return an byte[] or stream
}

Answer:

Yes the PDFDoc class has various save methods.

PDFDoc.Save to byte[]

PDFDoc Save to stream

Please note though, that the HTML2PDF process itself always writes to disk at some point during the conversion, to a temporary file location. Currently there is no way to avoid.
