Good afternoon,

Does anyone know how to create PDF reports, using ASP.NET?

I have 2 buttons on my page: "Print in Excel format" and "Print in PDF format" I create Excel reports and it works fine, but don't know how to present my reports in the PDF.

Thaks a lot in advance.
 

It's the only way to create a PDF document from a dynamic web page. There are other solutions out there, but none work like ActivePDF. True on-the-fly creation of documents from URL's w/ support for GET and POST values.

The only problem is that it launches a new request (and therefore, a new Session) when it does it's work, so if you use Session, you have to rebuild it from a POST. But once you get over that hump, it's a very robust solution (albeit a little pricy).
