// The following sample illustrates how to convert HTML pages to PDF format using
// the HTML2PDF class.
//
// 'pdftron.PDF.HTML2PDF' is an optional PDFNet Add-On utility class that can be
// used to convert HTML web pages into PDF documents by using an external module (html2pdf).
//
// html2pdf modules can be downloaded from http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/downloads.html.
//
// Users can convert HTML pages to PDF using the following operations:
// - Simple one line static method to convert a single web page to PDF.
// - Convert HTML pages from URL or string, plus optional table of contents, in user defined order.
// - Optionally configure settings for proxy, images, java script, and more for each HTML page.
// - Optionally configure the PDF output, including page size, margins, orientation, and more.
// - Optionally add table of contents, including setting the depth and appearance.

// PDFNet library, or in the current working directory, it will be loaded
// automatically. Otherwise, it must be set manually using HTML2PDF.SetModulePath.
