Hi;

I am new to Active PDF Toolkit. I am using it for our asp.net 2.0 and SQL 2000 web application. I our application, I retrive data from DB into a data table. I then display them in the web browser. What I need to do now is to have a button. Once the user clicks the button, application convert all the data into a .pdf file. Well, generate the .pdf file on-the-fly first, then fill in the .pdf file with the data in the data table.

I saw your post and it seems like that you did similiar thing with your application already. Can you tell me how you did it, please? A simple sample code will be very helpful.

Thanks!

Try searching Active PDF's KB, which you can find here: http://www.activepdf.com/support/knowledgebase/

Also dig around in their other support options.

You are probably better suited to ask this in a forum for Active PDF.

Using ActivePDF Toolkit and ASP.NET 2.0. Unable to open PDF document on the production server - need help.

Hello,
We are using ActivePDF toolkit to generate reports in our web
application. We are using ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005.

We are able to open the pdf files on our local development box with out
any problem. But having problems on the production server.

When we moved our application to the production serrver we made sure
that we copied the
production version of the APToolkitNET.dll to our project BIN directory
but still having problems.

When we try opening the PDF file on the server this is the error we are
getting:

"Adobe Reader could not open 'XXXXX[2].pdf' because it is either no a
supported file type or because the file has been corrupted (for
example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly
decode)"

But the same code works perfectly fine on my development box but not
sure why is this causing on the server.

The version of Adobe Reader on my development box is 6.0
The version of Adobe Reader on the server is 7.0 (not sure if this
makes any difference but just want to mention it here)

Can some one help me with this if any one of you had similar problem in
the past?

Thanks in advance
