Somewhere I have read that you can use MS Word with ASP .NET 2.0, AJAX (or JavaScript) to export data/forms to PDF files for download or email from an ASP .NET 2.0 web page if Office was on the server.
Is this correct?
I am trying to create PDF files from queries and present them to download or email to users on the fly based on their selected information and cannot seem to find out how to export the info to PDF files. I can get it to do anything else, including a Word document, but not PDF.
This libraries can help you creating pdf in C# if that is what you are using on the back end http://csharp-source.net/open-source/pdf-libraries. If you give me an example of what you are doing it would be easier to help
Are you trying to export data into pdfs?
What do you need Word for?
Do you have ReportServer installed?
If so, it has an export feature - one method of exporting is pdf.
Other formats include: XML, CSV, Tiff, Web Archive and Excel.
If you don't have ReportServer, then I'm sure there is a way of doing it programmatically.
I hate using third party software if I don't have to.
