How to create PDF document using ASP.Net?

Question

How do I properly align pdf...?? I have different tables for different run..

Answer 1

The .NET framework does not contain any native way to work with PDF files. So, if you want to generate or work with PDF files as part of your ASP.NET web application, you will have to rely on one of the many third party components that are available. One of the free components is iTextSharp, which is a port of a well known Java utility, iText.

Check the following tutorial for more detail http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/80/Create-PDFs-in-ASP.NET-getting-started-with-iTextSharp

For your second query i.e. Properly align pdf, can you put more details.

 Private Sub prn_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
                              ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs)

        e.Graphics.DrawString("Hello from VB.NET", New Font("Arial", 60, FontStyle.Regular), _
                              Brushes.Blue, 100, 100)

    End Sub

    Private Sub PrintTest()
        Dim DC As Object = CreateObject("Neevia.docCreator")

        DC.setParameter("DocumentOutputFormat", "PDF")
        DC.setParameter("DocumentOutputName", "testVBNET")
        DC.setParameter("DocumentOutputFolder", "d:\")

        Dim prn As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument
        AddHandler prn.PrintPage, AddressOf prn_PrintPage
        prn.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Neevia docCreator"

        Dim tempFile As String = DC.getParameter("TempDir") + DC.GUID + ".ps"

        prn.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName = tempFile
        prn.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = True

        prn.Print()

        DC.setInputDocument(tempFile)

        Dim RVal As Integer = DC.create()
        DC.fileDelete(tempFile)

        prn = Nothing
        DC = Nothing

        If (RVal <> 0) Then
            MsgBox("Error while creating document!!!")
        Else
            MsgBox("Done !!!")
        End If
    End Sub
