Does anyone know of any other scripts/components to do this BESIDES the 

products of Active PDF?



I would like to have a button on my ASP pages to print/display that page 

as PDF.



Thanks

Hi,



Why not try this article from "Creating a PDF with ASP

By Ty Button" 

http://www.15seconds.com/issue/990902.htm. It help me

with my ASP and ColdFusion projects.



Best Regards,



Dennis

Microsoft Word might be an option.  with Visual Basic you can make an 

ActiveX where you make an instance of Word, open the document you want to 

make a PDF, set the Active Printer as Acrobat writer, call the printout 

method of word giving a filename as a parameter.



For this you would need Acrobat Writer installed in the server machine.  

visit http://www.adobe.com/support/database.html, they have an example there 

that helped me.



try Word to PDF or something...

In the past, I've used HTMLDOC.  Basically, you write the HTML to a file,

use the .exe to convert to PDF, and then stream the results to the browser.

Here's the URL:

Hope this helps,

Thanks Rob.

This HTMLDOC program does not work for ASP pages. For HTML, it works okay.

I'm trying to display my asp pages, something like report.asp?id=12345 to

the browser as PDF file so that the users can print or download it.

Here's the code we used with the HTMLDOC.EXE program.



<% Case "PDF"

    Dim Sys, File, Stream, HTML, PDF

    HTML = Application("Path")&"temp\"&Session("UserID")&".htm"

    PDF = Application("Path")&"temp\"&Session("UserID")&".pdf"

    Set Sys = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Set File = Sys.CreateTextFile(HTML)

    File.Write Output

    File.Close

    objConn.DefaultDatabase = "master"

    objConn.Execute "xp_cmdshell 'D:\SOFTWARE\HTMLDOC\HTMLDOC.EXE -t pdf

--top 5 --bottom 5 --left 5mm --right 5mm --webpage --pagemode document

"&HTML&" -f "&PDF&"', no_output",,129

    Set File = Nothing

    Set Sys = Nothing

    Set Stream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")

    Stream.Open

    Stream.LoadFromFile PDF

    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"

    Response.BinaryWrite Stream.ReadText

    Set Stream = Nothing %>



It's messy and uses the file system, but it worked great for us.  Very

efficient.  You might want to check out some of the other suggestions made

too.



Cheers,



Rob
