PDF Creation in C#
-
Hello All, I was wondering if anybody had any experience with PDF creation in c#. I am working on a project where we have had a request to add the ability to export the output of our project (basic 2d line plots, graphics, text) to a PDF. I have seen a number of 3rd party components that advertise being able to create PDF's, and I suppose Adobe has something as well. The general price range seems to be about $100, which I don't mind paying for something that works and is easy to use. I am not trying to convert anything into a PDF (some packages seem to be advertising this feature), but create the PDF directly, and populate it with some graphics. Anything out there that exposes a Graphics object that represents a PDF page that I could just draw to with the code I already have in place for printing? Any advice? Thanks! Aaron

Search in codeproject, there are lots of articles about PDF there. For example : http://www.codeproject.com/cs/library/AnotherPDFLib.asp

Hello Aaron, ComponentOne has a PDF component, PDF for .NET, that will allow you to create PDF documents. The object model is similar to the Microsoft Graphics Class, so it is easy to learn. For more information, please visit http://www.componentone.com/ProductMain.aspx?ItemType=1&PanelIndex=6[^].
