From HTML form to PDF

Question

Is there an easy way to have an HTML form on a web page that, when the user submits, puts the data in a PDF file and sends it to the recipient?

The webpage runs on .net.

thanks

Answer 1

Umbraco has a nice PDF generator package called "XSL to PDF."

This allows you to create a PDF file from Umbraco by simply defining a PDF template.

Using this, you can achieve what you are looking for.

Answer 2

If you have C #, use one of these libraries: http://csharp-source.net/open-source/pdf-libraries

(I do not use dot net, so I can not recommend, sorry)

Answer 3

I use PDFsharp a lot. Does it work!

Answer 4

Have you tried "PDF Vision.NET" ? This is a commercial library, but the payment costs justify themselves :) Only $ 150. I think you should try.

Use this code to convert HTML to PDF in Asp.NET/C#:

SautinSoft.PdfVision obj = new SautinSoft.PdfVision(); obj.PageStyle.PageSize.A4(); byte [] pdf = obj.ConvertHtmlFileToPDFStream(@"http://www.somesite.com"); if (pdf!= null) { Response.Buffer = true; Response.Clear(); Response.ContentType = "application/PDF"; Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition:", "attachment; filename=Result.pdf"); Response.BinaryWrite(pdf); Response.Flush(); Response.End(); 

Answer 5

Disclaimer: I work for this company.

I can also mention another great Sautinsoft product. I think you should check both of them, and then choose the best! The library does its job pretty well and does not require any additional components.

PDF Metamorphosis.Net

This component

HTML to PDF in C #:

 SautinSoft.PdfMetamorphosis p = new SautinSoft.PdfMetamorphosis(); p.PageStyle.PageSize.A4(); p.HtmlToPdfConvertFile(@"c:\table.html", @"c:\Result.pdf");
