iTextSharp

Today, I got the work to create the PDF document from ASP.net application. Using google I have searched any components which are available for free download. At that time, I got this component, iTextSharp, from Souceforge.net. Initially it is developed in Java with the name of iText. We can get the latest version of this component at http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/. In this link they provide the example code also. This component is very useful and easy to use for ASP.net developers. Sample code // step 1: creation of a document-object Document document = new Document(); try { // step 2: // we create a writer that listens to the document // and directs a PDF-stream to a file PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(@"C:\temp\Chap0101.pdf" , FileMode.Create)); // step 3: we open the document document.Open(); // step 4: we Add a paragraph to the document document.Add(new Paragraph( "Hello World")); } catch (DocumentException de) { Console.Error.WriteLine(de.Message); } catch ( IOException ioe) { Console.Error.WriteLine(ioe.Message); } // step 5: we close the document document.Close(); Some Article Links iTextSharp(iText#) example in asp.net - http://blog.rubypdf.com/2006/10/25/itextsharpitext-example-in-aspnet/ How to generate Arabic PDF files - http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/forums/p/40095/146877/
