hi there, I'm also looking into converting html to pdf via iTextSharp for the first time here. Just like to take this oportunity to ask you a question (as my VS is going thru an upgrade I havent been able to test this functionality). Are you using this way to convert simple HTML to PDF?

/// <summary>
/// Creates the PDF document with a given content at a given location.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="strFilePath">The file path to write the new PDF to.</param>
/// <param name="strContent">Content in HTML to write to the PDF.</param>
public static void CreatePDFDocument(String strFilePath, String strContent)
{
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 80, 50, 30, 65);
try
{
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(strFilePath, FileMode.Create));
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(strContent));
reader.WhitespaceHandling = System.Xml.WhitespaceHandling.None;
HtmlParser.Parse(document, reader);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw e;
}
}
