A Response to TheCodeMan’s Positive Review of IronPDF

June 19, 2025

We love when developers unlock the full potential of IronPDF and TheCodeMan has done just that. In his recent tutorial on generating PDF invoices from HTML, he went beyond the fundamentals, showcasing advanced features that make IronPDF the leading C# library for production-ready PDF generation.

It's rewarding for us, the engineers at Iron Software, to see the tools we build being used with such confidence and creativity.

What Stefan Loves About IronPDF: Advanced Features That Stand Out

TheCodeMan didn’t just stop at simple PDF generation. He utilised IronPDF’s capabilities to the full extent to craft an invoice workflow that was both robust and elegant.

"You can embed logos, render Razor Views, use live URLs, and merge multiple PDFs , all in just a few lines of code."

Here’s a breakdown of the advanced features he highlighted and why they matter:

Brand Visibility with HTML

Embedding your company logo in an invoice is as simple as using a standard HTML image tag:

<img src="logo.png" />

This keeps your brand front and center without any extra setup.

Seamless Razor View Rendering

For developers using ASP.NET, you can render an invoice directly from your Razor views with:

RenderRazorViewToPdf()

No data duplication, no manual rendering , just reuse the views you've already built. Read the tutorial.

Live URL to PDF

Skip generating raw HTML strings. With:

RenderUrlAsPdf("https://yourapp/invoice/123")

you can render live, authenticated pages directly into PDFs. It’s perfect for SaaS dashboards, secure portals, or real-time document generation.

Custom Headers, Footers, and Styles

Need disclaimers, terms, or pagination? Just drop in your HTML fragment via renderer.PrintOptions.Header or .Footer. You can also apply your own CSS to keep everything on-brand and consistent.

Merge Multiple PDFs in One Line

Merging contracts, reports, or supporting docs with invoices? It’s as easy as:

var pdf1 = PdfDocument.FromFile("doc1.pdf");
var pdf2 = PdfDocument.FromFile("doc2.pdf");
var merged = PdfDocument.Merge(pdf1, pdf2);
merged.SaveAs("merged.pdf");

This is a huge time-saver for client-facing documents, no more switching tools or manual combining.

“ It’s not just a PDF tool , it’s an extension of your development environment.”
