Winnovative HTML to PDF Converter allows you to create empty PDF documents to which you can add various types of elements: HTML, text, images, graphics. You can save the created PDF document to a file, a stream or in a memory buffer. A PDF document is represented in API by a WinnovativeClientDocument object.
When you create a PDF document you can choose the PDF Standard and the Color Space in Document object constructor. You can also choose the PDF page size, orientation and margins when you add a page to PDF document using the DocumentAddPage(PdfPageSize, PdfMargins, PdfPageOrientation) method.
