+
+Step 4: Include the following namespaces in the HomeController.cs file.
+
+{% highlight c# tabtitle="C#" %}
+
+using Syncfusion.Pdf;
+using Syncfusion.HtmlConverter;
+using System.IO;
+
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Step 5: Add a new button in the Index.cshtml as shown below.
+
+{% highlight c# tabtitle="C#" %}
+
+@{Html.BeginForm("ExportToPDF", "Home", FormMethod.Post);
+    {
+        <div>
+            <input type="submit" value="Convert PDF" style="width:150px;height:27px" />
+        </div>
+    }
+    Html.EndForm();
+ }
+
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Step 6: Add a new action method named ExportToPDF in HomeController.cs and include the below code example to convert HTML to PDF document using [Convert](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.HtmlConverter.HtmlToPdfConverter.html#Syncfusion_HtmlConverter_HtmlToPdfConverter_Convert_System_String_) method in [HtmlToPdfConverter](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.HtmlConverter.HtmlToPdfConverter.html) class.
+
+{% highlight c# tabtitle="C#" %}
+
+//Initialize HTML to PDF converter.
+HtmlToPdfConverter htmlConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter();
+//Convert URL to PDF document.
+PdfDocument document = htmlConverter.Convert("https://www.syncfusion.com");
+//Create memory stream.
+MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
+//Save the document to memory stream.
+document.Save(stream);
+document.Close(true);
+return File(stream.ToArray(), System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf, "HTML-to-PDF.pdf");
+
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Step 7: Run the project and verify that the HTML‑to‑PDF conversion functions correctly in the local environment.
+
+## Publish the project to a Windows Server using IIS
