Hello friends,
my problem goes here,
i have two aspx pages, lets say A.aspx and B.aspx.
B.aspx contains information comming from database.
when user clicks btnShow on A.aspx B.aspx is displayed with all the information from database on run time.
i want to display B.aspx as pdf formate in browser.
i tried to do it with iTextsharp.dll but failed, all i can find over net is the conversion of asp.net control to pdf.format.
help me out pls
i dont know why you faild to work with iTextSharp.dll,
i worked with it a few weeks ago and it works just fine.
but if you don't want to learn to work with it so i can suggest to download a third party software that know to receive command lines and work with it.
you can try and use a software called: ConvertDOC, its a freeware if you are not a company and they have online support.
you can find it in this link:

convert your control to doc or to somthing else it's not a problem.
hope its helps
enjoy

hi,
Follow this steps to create what you want, when i programed my app i followed this steps, this is a tutorial:
http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/index.html
And one last thing about the ConvertDoc, I understand the first time that you dont need the user to download the file, but what you can do as i said before is to convert the file to pdf in your server side, show it as a pdf on a new page, and after the user close the window and finished viewing the file you can delete it from your web site.
So i still think that you can do it with this Program and it can be OK, if you need help how to do it, i will glad to help you.
