Generate PDF file in asp.net
Whats is a good and easy-to-use library (Third party software) in order to create a fillable pdf file? Im using asp.net C# and basically I want to generate a fillable pdf file that I send it to other users so they can fill it?
Aspose for PDF .NET is a good one.
http://www.aspose.com/categories/.net-components/aspose.pdf-for-.net/default.aspx
iTextSharp is good too.
http://itextpdf.com/
Can't think of a good open source offering that is full featured however.
iTextSharp is a popular open source library to create PDF documents. It supports creating forms in PDF documents and filling them programmatically.
TallPDF.NET also is very good and feature-rich.

Is there a way to programmatically create PowerPoint presentations in asp.net? If possible, I'd like to use C# and create PowerPoint 2007 presentations with out install Office on server.
Thanks in advance.
I am afraid that you cant create ppt without having powerpoint installed, as com will be used to do that. if the file type is not the constraint then the best bet will be using html5 with jquery, you can achive the same (nearly same) effects etc as with ppt but the learning curve can be a problem if you are new to html5 and jquery.

I am making an apllication universal document viewer using visual studio 2010-framework 3.5. In this i want to open a pdf file, i have used PDFTextStripper and Pdfbox but i am unable to view the text in proper format. Can anyone please suggest me any other option to view the pdf files.
you can either write your own pdf parser based on structure doc published by adobe:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html
or add a module. e.g.:
http://www.pdfsharp.net/MainPage.ashx
http://www.itextpdf.com/itext.php
I'd recommend writing your own code if you are about to develop an universal doc viewer as you may face legal issues otherwise if you publish(w/wo donate option) or sell your app
(IMHO: by not coding everything from scratch, it won't be your universal doc viewer anyway but a collection of 3rd party code)

Is there any good software to create pdf files for asp.net?

I like Expert PDF (http://www.html-to-pdf.net/). It converts regular HTML and CSS to a PDF format and opens in the associated reader on your local machine. Much easier than some of the other generators out there such as iText Sharp which require a lot of time learning the API. Unfortunately its a paid app, so if your company isn't willing to chip in for the license you might want to look at one of the free libraries.
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) offers some good PDF generating functionality, though depending on your exact needs it may be too much. The best way to find out is to take a look at this page and see what you think: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/solutions-technologies/business-intelligence/reporting-services.aspx
If you don't want to use the Report Viewer control, there is a blog post I've seen that details how you can avoid creating one: http://geekswithblogs.net/bsherwin/archive/2007/04/29/112094.aspx (It's in VB but could easily be converted to C#).
iTextsharp is widely used and of-course it is free.
Just download the DLL

Opening a PDF in WPF Application
Is there a way to load a PDF into a WPF FixedDocument or FlowDocument without 3rd party components?
You can do this by using a PDF converter to generate image files for each page in the PDF file and then combine these to a FixedDocument.
For the PDF conversion you can use Ghostscript (use the in-process gsdll32.dll). There is a GPL licensed version and a commercial version.
The drawback is that your documents are rendered during the conversion and you will not be able search the resulting FixedDocument or improve the quality by rendering it at a higher DPI.

Hi,
I have an aspx webpage. Once that page is rendered, with a button click how can I export it to PDF? What is the process? Do I need an external third party tool to achieve this?
Thanks.
We've had good luck using the iTextSharp library. It's easy to use and the price is right.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/
There are several third party libraries that support this. We have one that provides perfect fidelity and has been optimised for use on the server. Have a look at this blog post.
