Options for creating simple PDF in ASP.NET
-
I think this has been addressed in some capacity a few times, but nothing recently, and nothing that addresses my exact needs. So here goes... I am looking for suggestions to accomplish the following in ASP.NET. The Nutshell: I need to take a string value, from a text box on a web form, and provide it in a PDF file for download. The PDF file will also include a static graphic. The Details: My thoughts right now are that I should probably start with something other than a PDF that contains the static graphic, add the text, and then convert to PDF. I thought this would be possible using MS Word, but understand that there are issues when doing this on a Windows 2008 Server - which is my environment. Ideally, I'd like to avoid a 3rd party library or application unless it's free or very cheap. The project is just as small as it sounds and can't afford the overhead.
