            return new ActionAsPdf("Index", new { name = "Friends" })
            {
                //FileName = "Test.pdf",
                ContentDisposition = ContentDisposition.Inline,
                OnBuildFileSuccess = async (bytes, context, fileName) =>
                {
                    // some code done.
                    return true;

                    // example.
                    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
                        fileName = $"{Guid.NewGuid()}.pdf";

                    var container = CloudStorageAccount
                         // Please set your value.
                         // If it's null, it will result in an ArgumentNullException().
                        .Parse(connectionString:null)
                        .CreateCloudBlobClient()
                        // Please set your value.
                        // If it's null, it will result in an ArgumentNullException().
                        .GetContainerReference(containerName:null);

                    try
                    {
                        var blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(fileName);
                        blockBlob.Properties.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                        await blockBlob.UploadFromByteArrayAsync(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
                    }
                    catch (Exception e)
                    {
                        // logging.
                        return false;  // fire InvalidOperationException()
                    }

                    return true;
                },
            };
        }

Usage

public ActionResult PrintIndex()
{
    return new ActionAsPdf("Index", new { name = "Giorgio" }) { FileName = "Test.pdf" };
}

public ActionResult Index(string name)
{
    ViewBag.Message = string.Format("Hello {0} to ASP.NET MVC!", name);

    return View();
}

ViewAsPdf now available. It enables you to render a view as pdf in just one move, thanks to scoorf

public ActionResult TestViewWithModel(string id)
{
    var model = new TestViewModel {DocTitle = id, DocContent = "This is a test"};
    return new ViewAsPdf(model);
}

Also available a RouteAsPdf, UrlAsPdf and ViewAsPdf ActionResult.

It generates Pdf also from authorized actions (web forms authentication).

You can also output images from MVC with ActionAsImage, ViewAsImage, RouteAsImage, UrlAsImage.
