 Make sure you have a folder with the wkhtmltopdf.exe file accessible by the process running the web app. By default it searches in a folder named "Rotativa" in the root of the web app. If you need to change that use the optional parameter to the Setup call `RotativaConfiguration.Setup(env, "path/relative/to/root")`
 
+## Usage
+
+This package should work almost exactly as Rotativa https://github.com/webgio/Rotativa.
+
+Instead of returning a `View()` in your .NET controller, use `new ViewAsPdf()` to return a PDF or use `new ViewAsImage()` to return an image:
+
+```csharp
+public class InvoiceController : Controller
+{
+    private readonly ILogger<InvoiceController> _logger;
+
+    public InvoiceController(ILogger<InvoiceController> logger)
+    {
+        _logger = logger;
+    }
+
+    public IActionResult Index()
+    {
+        // Returns the Index view as HTML.
+        return View();
+    }
+
+    public IActionResult Invoice()
+    {
+        // Returns the Invoice view as PDF.
+        return new ViewAsPdf();
+    }
+
+    public IActionResult InvoiceImage()
+    {
+        // Returns the InvoiceImage view as PDF.
+        return new ViewAsImage();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+You can specify the View that should be transformed into a PDF or image:
+
+```csharp
+return new ViewAsPdf("NameOfView");
+```
+
+Pass ViewData as an optional property:
+
+```csharp
+ViewData["Message"] = "Thank you for downloading this PDF.";
+return new ViewAsPdf(viewData: ViewData);
+```
+
+We support partial views as well:
+
+```csharp
+return new ViewAsImage("MyPartialView", isPartialView: true);
+```
+
+By default Rotativa injects a base url in the head section of the HTML. This can be disabled:
+
+```csharp
+return new ViewAsImage(setBaseUrl: false);
+```
+
+The settings can be combined as well:
+
+```csharp
+ViewData["Message"] = "Thank you for downloading this PDF.";
+return new ViewAsImage("MyPartialView", isPartialView: true, viewData: ViewData, setBaseUrl: false);
+```
+
+To change the way the PDF or image is generated, you can pass the settings as parameters:
+
+```csharp
+return new ViewAsImage()
+{
+    Format = ImageFormat.png,
+    Quality = 90
+};
+```
+
+By default the PDF or image is shown to the user in the browser, like HTML. If you want to force the document to be downloaded use the Content-Disposition property:
+
+```csharp
+return new ViewAsPdf()
+{
+    ContentDisposition = ContentDisposition.Attachment,
+    FileName = "MyDocument.pdf"
+};
+```
+
+Each property is documented in the object for easy reference.
+
+Rotativa uses wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltoimage behind the scenes. If you want to specify custom switches that are unsupported by Rotativa, you can pass them as well:
+
+```csharp
+return new ViewAsPdf()
+{
+    CustomSwitches = "--disable-smart-shrinking"
+};
+```
+
+If you need to write the PDF to the server, you can call `BuildFile` and use the resulting byte array to save the file:
+
+```csharp
+var pdfFile = new ViewAsPdf().BuildFile(this.ControllerContext);
+File.WriteAllBytes("wwwroot/output.pdf", pdfFile);
+```
+
+This is how you save the PDF file to the server before displaying it in the browser:
+
+```csharp
+public IActionResult Invoice()
+{
+    // Generate the PDF.
+    var pdfFile = new ViewAsPdf();
+
+    // Save to the server.
+    File.WriteAllBytes("wwwroot/output.pdf", pdfFile.BuildFile(this.ControllerContext));
+
+    // Show in the browser.
+    return pdfFile;
+}
+```
+
