Creating PDF or DOC Documents in Windows Form

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

I'm currently designing a purchase order system in Microsoft Visual C# 2008 and wanted to know if thier are any projects or custom dll's which would be useful. I've already tried solutions such as pdfClown to no success.

The PDF or DOC would be created from using textboxes, comboboxes and labels which have been populated from data stored on a SQL server.

Please help! I've been trying to complete this for near 2 weeks now.

Thanks

Danny

Lots of suggestions here[^]. It's impossible to provide more information than this, as the actual formatting of your data has to be done by your program making calls to the specific library that you decide to implement. You can, of course, create a Word document direct by using one of these suggestions[^].

I've found a very useful dll called iTextSharp which can be downloaded from http://itextpdf.com/[^]. There is also a list of basic tutorials here http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/80/Create-PDFs-in-ASP.NET-getting-started-with-iTextSharp[^] and here http://blog.rubypdf.com/itextsharp/tutorial01/[^]

This has proved to be useful (so far) and I'm coding a custom class library from the dll to make it much easier to create pdf's from c#.
