Does anyone have any suggestions for a tool which will create a PDF file in an ASP.NET web app? I need to have an asp web form which gets completed on-line, then be able to programatically write the info out to a PDF file.

I've seen a number of (pretty expensive!) tools but one of the problems is they need installation on the server, and I need it to run on shared hosting (our very own favourite csnm of course!:thumbup1:)

Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply - I had also done some more googling and came up with iTextSharp (which is also on SourceForge).

I have managed to create a simple PDF with it, so far so good!
