I'm not really sure of the question but if you are looking for .NET PDF solutions iTextSharp is one. Its open source even. Here a link http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=673328

thanks for the reply..i was told by my supervisor that i dont need to install any 3rd party pdf converters.just use the 'Add Reference'..actually my above code is the procedure i want,but it uses a third party converter and the 'Generate Report' button is in html not asp.

 

[drifters086]

any kind souls?

 

[Paszt]

still not sure of your question

You want to create PDFs without third party components? You'll have a great deal of coding to do.

 

[drifters086]

correct..right now my code used a 3rd party component call 'VeryPDF DocConverter COM'..but i wanna use the adobe itself to create pdf..izzit smth to do with 'Add Reference' with some coding will do?my supervisor says the coding should be around 5-6 lines.

Answer these questions:

1) Do you want to create the PDF client or server side?
2) What component are you going to use? - in post #4 you say "i was told by my supervisor that i dont need to install any 3rd party pdf converters" then you say in post #7 "i wanna use the adobe itself to create pdf". This is confusing for two reasons: adobe is a company, it would be difficult to create a pdf using a company ) seriously though, what component from adobe?) and second because any component from adobe would be third party.

bro,sorry for da confusing part.
1)create on a server side.
2)sorry,i got confused with it.anyway,i got adobe reader & adobe distiller.can adobe distiller help in any way?
