They have a product which can take html and convert it to a pdf. Is easilly used within an asp.net website.

Can also write a pdf manually if you want the hassle.

Also have a free version if you link to their site - not sure what restrictions are placed.

Currenly use their pay for product to generate pdf invoices from html content and it works a treat.

Does it work on RFH servers Jim?

not sure John, use it for work purposes. Could ask Warren to have a gander. If memory serves me correctly the component is a dll which you drop in the bin directory. Would have to try using it to check we have the correct permissions.

Warren is there any way we could get asppdf added to the GAC to allow us to use it in .NET?

ASPPDF can't be added to the GAC because its an ActiveX/COM DLL, not a .NET assembly. .NET in Medium Trust prevents the running of unmanaged code (code that .NET cannot control/investigate) - ActiveX/COM DLLs are unmanaged.

Hi,

Is this version of the component a posability

abcpdf.net

It mentions ... However should you require you can always copy both DLLs to the bin directory of your application.

I use ABC Pdf but I need to moved to a full trust environment in order to that component work properly, only version 5 would work in a medium trust, but I had a lot of problems with that.

so I'm using version 5 on a new server... that was the only manner to work with the component (or I would need to convert all my print classes to other component)
