I need to render the pdf without saving it first. Here's the code. THANKS!

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using ToolboxFacade;
using ToolboxFacade.Enumerators;
using PdfLib;
using PdfSharp;
using PdfSharp.Drawing.Pdf;
using PdfSharp.Drawing;
using PdfSharp.Pdf;
using PdfSharp.Pdf.IO;
using MigraDoc;
using MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel;
using MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.Tables;
using MigraDoc.Rendering;
using MigraDoc.RtfRendering;

namespace MCSPortal
{
    public static class PdfBuilder
    {
        static SessionStateManager SessionManager = new SessionStateManager(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session);
        

        public static void GetPdfStarted()
        {
             
            Document document = CreateDocument();

             PdfDocumentRenderer renderer = new PdfDocumentRenderer(false, PdfSharp.Pdf.PdfFontEmbedding.Always);

            renderer.Document = document;
            renderer.RenderDocument();
            string fileName = "Resume_" + System.DateTime.Now.Millisecond + ".pdf";
   
            renderer.PdfDocument.Save(fileName);
            Process.Start(fileName);
        }
        public static Document CreateDocument()
        {
            // Create a new MigraDoc document
            MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.Document document = new Document();

           
            document.Info.Title = "Resume";
            document.Info.Subject = "Resume";
            document.Info.Author = "Job Seeker";

            
            

            return document;
        }

What's the question?
You can render to a file or render to a memory stream (used for example in our WebClock sample).

Thanks for your response. Please bear with me as this is all very new to me.

I looked at the Web clock sample that you pointed to. That code appears to have been written on an .aspx page while I am working within a class. Because of this, I can't figure out how to get to the Response. parameters.

Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", stream.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(stream.ToArray());
Response.Flush();
Response.End();

I also see that you are using memory stream in your example but you are also using a pdf document while I am using a migraDoc document.

I will research these issues to educate myself but any help you can provide in the meantime would be greatly appreciated.

The MigraDoc renderer creates a PdfDocument for you.
You can save that to a file or to a memory stream (from HelloMigraDoc):

Code:

renderer.PdfDocument.Save(filename);

To keep the stream open, pass false:

Code:

renderer.PdfDocument.Save(stream, false);

The MixMigraDocAndPdfSharp sample shows a different way how to get a PdfDocument from a MigraDoc document.

If your code is in a class, but for use on a web server, then pass Response (class HttpResponse) as a parameter.
