Hi Guys,

Can anyone pl direct me on how to generate a PDF document from
ASP.NET.
I know it can be done using Crystal Reports.
I'm looking for any other alternative approaches.
First of all, can it be done without using any third party component ?
If not what are best components ?

Thanks for your advices.

Ken\David,

Thanks for the replies.
Based on my requirement ( i did't mention it in the original posting,
sorry for that),
1. iTextSharp is currently only ver 0.04, so i really don't like to go
PROD with 0.04. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/)
But the good part is, it is developed in c#
2.activepdf did't mention about development platform, whether they
developed it in c# or using interop.( or I may be missing the link to
web page)

I'm really looking for a managed pdf converter.

So, my shot would be for one of the following
1.Dynamic PDF
a.DynamicPDF™ Generator.NET
http://dynamicpdf.com/Products/Generator.NET/
2.Siberix
a.PDF Library http://www.siberix.com/pdf/index.html
b.Frame Set http://www.siberix.com/frameset/index.html

Can you guys pl comment on this.

Thanks again
Kishore
 
I've found iTextSharp to be quite stable and I use it in a production
environment.

The advantage is that if you find a bug, you have the source code so you can
fix it.
 
Hi,

Thanks for the help of previous postings..,
When I'm building the application along with itextsharp.dll, VS.NET
complaining that this dll is not signed.

My application has .snk file.

I don't think I can sign itextsharp.dll.

Is there any way I can suppress this signature checking or is it
technically all the DLL's needs to signed, if my application has a
..snk ?

TIA
Kishore
 
Hi Kishore,

I see you got the answer from the iTextSharp author. Just for anyone
following this thread or picking it through a search, here's Gerald Henson's
reply:

"Just generate a key file using sn.exe, set the location of the key file in
the assemblyinfo.cs file of the itextsharp project, then rebuild. "
