Html to Pdf 的另类解决方案

Background

项目里要求将一个HTML页面(支付结果)生成pdf文档。页面有图片，有表格，貌似开源的iTextSharp应付不了.

在一番搜索之后，找到了wkhtmltopdf,一个命令行的开源转换工具，支持指定url或本地html file的路径，试用后效果不错，还特意用wkhtmltopdf写了一个工具将博客园的帖子备份pdf到本地，后续有空把这个工具分享出来

But,发给客户测试两天运行效果不太理想，出现一些未知错误，而且奇怪的是在测试环境没问题，正式环境却频繁出错。最后客户放弃这个方案

附上 WkhtmlToXSharp C# wrapper wrapper (using P/Invoke) for the excelent Html to PDF conversion library wkhtmltopdf library.

OK，来到正题，另类的解决方案：Hook

调用IE打印功能，使用XPS打印机，先将HTML文件生成xps文档，再生成pdf

新建WinForm 项目，拖入WebBrowser控件，代码指定Url到本地html文件路径，等待文档加载完成后 WebBrowser.Print(); OK，运行，会弹出选择打印机的对话框，如图一。点击打印后，弹出另存为的对话框，输入xps路径后保存(图二)，即可得到一份xps文档。

图一:选择打印机

图二:输入xps路径

从上面可以看到，这里的打印需要与UI交互，人工点击打印，输入xps路径保存才行。

接下来在网络搜索:怎么不显示对话框，直接打印生成xps文件，在stackoverflow,codeproject看了很多，没找到办法。后来偶然翻到园子前人的文章，采用hook方式，UI Automation来完成打印和保存的动作，觉得这个方案可行

接下来上代码吧

接下来有关xps转pdf，使用了Spire.Pdf,官方有demo，这里不再说明

有图有真相

有关自动选择XPS Document Writer的hook代码我还没完成，各位赐教！
