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*,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
