i'm trying to create a PDF by using database in ASP C#. PDF will include just titles and contents so what do i have to use to do such a thing and can you provide me a some examples? Thank you.
You can use iTextSharp which is an open source pdf library.
You can find a documentation format here.
Book reference : iText in Action
Generate PDF using iTextSharp can be a good startup on how to use iTextSharp to generate PDF using asp.net.
I would go for html -> pdf conversion. You can use a free command line utility wkhtmltopdf for it.
If you want something more complex like prepare multiple templates or store history of pdf outputs. Look at free reporting server jsreport. ( I am the author)

have a look at itextsharp. This is a server side pdf library that uses a document object model to allow you to add your text and styling in a pretty easy manner.
main features:
itext is an open source library that allows you to create and manipulate PDF documents.
It enables developers looking to enhance web- and other applications with dynamic PDF document generation and/or manipulation.
iText is available in Java as well as in .Net and Android.
usages:
Serve PDF to a browser
Generate dynamic documents from XML files or databases
Use PDF's many interactive features
Add bookmarks, page numbers, watermarks, etc.
Split, concatenate, and manipulate PDF pages
Automate filling out of PDF forms
Add digital signatures to a PDF file
available via nuget: Install-Package iTextSharp
I would like to create a document template and then process, via WPF application, this template (adding specific information) to export the result via PDF.
Do you know the best way to handle pdf documents? I have syncfussion library.
Using C# language
You can use PDF Forms templates and then populate them with iTextSharp dynamically.
Here is example: Fill in PDF Form Fields using the Open Source iTextSharp Dynamic Link Library
First of all you must have the acrobat reader for converting the simple document to the pdf format. When you type the information in the document then save it in the desired drive and then choose the option in the file type pdf format and select ok.
I am using asp.net with C#. I want to convert my html page to pdf. But I don't want to use "itextsharp.dll" for the same.
I went to lot of Google and sites. I am looking for some free one.
There is no such inbuilt functionality available in asp.net by default. You have to use any third party dll for this one. I would advice to take a look on the PDFSharp library
Take a look at PdfSharp. It's an open source library that easily creates PDF documents from any .NET language.
I am developing an application that is able to open and display PDFs after I open them and print them to another PDF using CutePDF, but the originals are not viewable.
I am looking for a way to programmatically open a PDF file, and print to another PDF file (not necessarily using CutePDF, just printing to another PDF is the desired functionality).
This will be integrated into a C# .NET project. Are there any suggestions how to go about doing this?
Thanks.
You could use Office Interop and generate the PDF, when you say "print to another pdf", I imagine you mean just generate? Or are you saying spool them to a pdf print driver that essentially will just create a PDF to be saved.
Use iText, which is available in Java and C# versions. I have used the Java version successfully. I recommend the iText in Action book to help you get up to speed with iText faster. The book discusses only the Java API, but I imagine you will be able to learn the principles of iText from the book and then figure out the minor differences for the C# version.
To implement this you can use PDFFlow library for generating PDF files from C#. It has easy fluent syntax and many features.
Here are many examples of real complex PDF documents: examples
Good luck :)
I want to create some reports on my asp.net website in PDF format. I need a way to do this easy. I am not using fancy text directions or things like that. What do you recommand I should choose?
iTextSharp is free.
However, any PDF library will require you to define fonts etc.
