Hello, I have recently started a project where I have to produce a pdf document in asp.net.

I can find librarys to produce pdf documents but the problem is that I need do display html that is stored in xml files.

For example i have to be able to produce a pdf with tables and images from a html file.

I would prefer to use an open-source product but it is not essential.

Does anyone have any suggestions to which software I could use?

Thanx

You might want to take a look at iTextSharp.

HTH,
Ryan

Thanks for the reply,

Still no luck with that iTextSharp program: Need to convert CSS/HTML styling with images to a PDF dynamically. Have looked at; CutePDF(gotta pay for the Pro version).

Any other free program I could use.

Cheers

To convert HTML to PDF in ASP.NET you could try this:

It is not free, but it may work for what you need to do.

Hi,

The HTML to PDF library for .NET  from http://www.dotnet-reporting.com or the HTML to PDF converter from http://www.winnovative-software.com is what you need. It's pure .NET library, it doesn't use a printer driver. There is also a free html to pdf converter application built on top of this library. The conversion can be done with only a few lines of code:

PdfConverter pdfConverter = new PdfConverter();
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.PdfPageSize = PdfPageSize.A4;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.PdfPageOrientation = PDFPageOrientation.Portrait;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.PdfCompressionLevel = PdfCompressionLevel.Normal;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.GenerateSelectablePdf = true;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.ShowFooter = false;
pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.ShowHeader = false;
pdfConverter.LicenseFilePath = Server.MapPath(@"~/Bin");
byte[] downloadBytes = pdfConverter.GetPdfFromUrlBytes(MyURL);
