I need the help of the community. Well, I this the title says it all :)
On my ASP.NET application I need to generate some PDF files, with different layouts. What is, in your oppinion, a good "PDF-maker" sollution for generate PDF files from ASP.NET? I need some tips :)
Of course you will need to learn how to write a proper transform to create an FO document. Its seems complicated at first but once you have the basic tags down its really easy and powerful for formatting PDFs.
I'm just checking out the PDF generator now. Is there a way to set the text color for a table cell?
When your question has been sufficiently answered, please be sure to mark your question as answered. Also, please share your solution if you had to figure it out on your own!
Can you guys please help me regarding the generation of PDF file using c#.
some how i was succeeded in generating the pdf file,
but the problem is when i try to apply the code 39 font to some content in PDF, it's not applying.
why i don't know. i installed that font in the windows\font.
Dim oFontCalibri
As BaseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont("C:\Windows\Fonts\calibri.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED)
Dim font As
New Font(oFontCalibri, 9)
Dim phrase As
New Phrase("Your Text", Font)
Basically change the file name to the font that you want to apply.

I have had good luck with nFOP, a J# port fo the JAVA (Apache) FOP:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nfop/
Example:

Of course you will need to learn how to write a proper transform to create an FO document. Its seems complicated at first but once you have the basic tags down its really easy and powerful for formatting PDFs.

How did you apply your font to the text?
This is VB code, but should explain the basics:
Dim oFontCalibri As BaseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont("C:\Windows\Fonts\calibri.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED)Dim font As New Font(oFontCalibri, 9)
Dim phrase As New Phrase("Your Text", Font)
Basically change the file name to the font that you want to apply.
That's it.

thanks for your reply.
i am c# developer. i don't know VB.
i am using the code from Code Project.
FontDict free3of9 = new FontDict();
free3of9.CreateFontDict("T1", "Free 3 of 9");
page.AddResource(free3of9, content.objectNum);
file.Write(free3of9.GetFontDict(file.Length, out size), 0, size);
this is what he is using the code.
textAndtable.AddRow(false, 13, "T1", align, "1234568", "Praveen");
so, T1 is reference to Free 3 of 9 font.
Any font other than this font is coming fine. But barcode font is not coming.
please help me out.
thanks

Almeida,
I agree with the folks on itext being a good viable solution if you are looking for some basic PDF creation.
What I found as the issue with iText is that most of the samples floating around are Java samples and the .NET side has been neglected.
I finally switched to a professional pdf component library called PDFTechLib by http://www.pdf-technologies.com and it has surprised me at every turn.
Goof support, good samples. Check it out.
Later!

What about ABCpdf .NET by webSupergoo? I'd like to mention this because it has been designed for use in IIS web server environments and ASP.NET.
There's a live demonstration on their website (www.websupergoo.com), which is included as an example website project and is freely adaptable.
