    hi

    itextsharp support limited styles and html elements.so you have to move another methods. go to www.esnips.com and serch for iText in Action. you can download a e book.it my usefull to you.

    and another one, you can try PDF Templates method. that means you can fill the paramerter to existing pdf files

    see my blog.

    Instead of using the iTextSharp HTML parser, which is limited, you can also use another approach. Make a screenshot of the webpage and ans past the image into iTextSharp. That way, your html can be as complex as you want. To make a screenshot, read:

    And basicly what I sais. Make a screenshot of your html and paste it in a pdf using iTextSharp. With a little trial and error you'll have a perfect result....

    suppose i want to convert website with 3 pages to one pdf

    Then I think you first need to ask yourself the question what if you have a long webpage that doesn't fit onto 1 pdf page. do you want the part that doesn't fit onto the first page be transferred to the next page, regardless of where the page breaks? Your problem is nested tables. But what if the break is in the middle of a table, how do you want to deal with that?
