I did some research on this and i found a solution which is not particularly
easy to implement, but it is doable.
if you want to do all these programatically, it is not easy.
First of all, you'll need to transform whatever Html you want to a new xhtml
file/stream, (XHTML is a newer generation of html markup stated in XML). Or
you can configure your ASP.Net application to render XHTML content.
Step 2: you'll need to transform XHTML to FO(formating object language)
using a XML Stylesheet (XSL transformation).
Step 3, Convert FO file/stream to a PDF file. You can achieve this step by
using an opensource compiled dll called nfop which is hosted on
sourceforge.net.
Step 4. Convert PDF file/stream to an image file/stream. I am aware there
are some third party API out there for doing this step, but they are not
cheap unless you want to implement your own converter. You can probably skip
this step if you can find an API to convert XSL-FOs to images directly.
So basically, here is the streamline process.
HTML ------->XHTML -----FO ---------PDF ------------JPEG
XSL NFOP Converter
Let me know if you have any questions.
