Set Initial Zoom Level of the Generated PDF Document

EVO HTML to PDF Converter for .NET Documentation

EVO HTML to PDF Converter can set the location in a PDF page where to go when the generated PDF is opened in a PDF viewer using a PdfActionGoTo object which can be assigned to DocumentOpenActionAction property. An object of DocumentOpenAction type is exposed by the DocumentOpenAction property. Additionally you can set the initial zoom level using the ExplicitDestinationZoomPercentage property of destination object used to construct the PdfActionGoTo object.

    // Set an adddional delay in seconds to wait for JavaScript or AJAX calls after page load completed
    // Set this property to 0 if you don't need to wait for such asynchcronous operations to finish
    htmlToPdfConverter.ConversionDelay = 2;
