Convert HTML to GrayScale and CMYK PDF Documents

EVO PDF Client for .NET Core

EVO HTML to PDF Converter allows you to convert a HTML to PDF in RGB color space by default but you can choose to produce the PDF document in GrayScale or CMYK color space using the PdfDocumentOptionsColorSpace property. An object of PdfDocumentOptions type is exposed by the HtmlToPdfConverterPdfDocumentOptions property.
