Does the library PDFSharp can - like iTextSharp - generate PDF files *take into account HTML formatting *? (bold (strong), spacing (br), etc.)
Previously I used iTextSharp and roughly handled in such a way (code below):
string encodingMetaTag = "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />";
string htmlCode = "text <div> <b> bold </ b> or <u> underlined </ u> <div/>";
var sr = new StringReader (encodingMetaTag + htmlCode);
var pdfDoc = new Document (PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);
var = new HTMLWorker htmlparser (pdfDoc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance (pdfDoc, HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream);
pdfDoc.Open ();
htmlparser.Parse (sr);
pdfDoc.Close ();
incorporated into the appropriate HTML form to a PDF document dealt with the class object HTMLWorker.. so what with PDFSharp? Has PDFSharp similar solution?

I know this question is old, but here's a clean way to do it...
You can use HtmlRenderer combined with PDFSharp to accomplish this:
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(1200, 1800); Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap); HtmlRenderer.HtmlContainer c = new HtmlRenderer.HtmlContainer(); c.SetHtml("<html><body style='font-size:20px'>Whatever</body></html>"); c.PerformPaint(g); PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(); PdfPage page = new PdfPage(); XImage img = XImage.FromGdiPlusImage(bitmap); doc.Pages.Add(page); XGraphics xgr = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(doc.Pages[0]); xgr.DrawImage(img, 0, 0); doc.Save(@"C:\test.pdf"); doc.Close(); Some people report that the final image looks a bit blurry, apparently due to automatic anti-aliasing. Here's a post message on how to fix that: http://forum.pdfsharp.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1811&start=0

No, PDFsharp does not currently include code to parse HTML files.

Old question but none of above worked for me. Then i tried generatepdf method of HtmlRenderer in combination of pdfsharp. Hope it helps:
You must install a nuget named HtmlRenderer.pdfsharp.
var doc = TheArtOfDev.HtmlRenderer.PdfSharp.PdfGenerator.GeneratePdf("Your html in a string",PageSize.A4);
PdfPage page = new PdfPage();
XImage img = XImage.FromGdiPlusImage(bitmap);
doc.Pages.Add(page);
XGraphics xgr = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(doc.Pages[0]);
xgr.DrawImage(img, 0, 0);
doc.Save(Server.MapPath("test.pdf"));
doc.Close();
