Today, I was tasked to look for a solution to generate some PDF file from aspx. I spent some time exploring any available projects on SourceForge. I found almost a dozen. Some well-known are PDFizer, PDFSharp, SharpPDF, and my choice - iTextSharp. We also have commercial solutions such as ExpertPDF HtmlToPdf Converter and HTML to PDF Converter for .Net.

PDFizer could read just simple HTML tags. It could not even support HTML tables (yet). And, after reading some more forums, I found iSharpText quite appropriate to deploy. I have to structure my PDF much like we use HTMLTextWriter. I tested it. Not so bad. I managed to generate a PDF in which user input text was rendered.

Today, I would like to thank Chris for introducing Hide Menubar and Faviconize Tab Firefox extensions. I need some screen space! =)
