ASP.NET - generating PDF from asp.net page content

Hello again,

I need to be able to generate a PDF from the content of an asp.net page, and then email the PDF. I assume the created PDF would first need to be saved prior to being emailed. How best to go about this?

TIA,

John

See this article on site:   http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/a5e1109d-03bc-4e6b-a904-af4835f336cd/fill-out-blank-pdf-form-online-and-stream-to-browser-with-itextsharp.aspx

Peter,

Thanks much for the tutorial. It's been very helpful, and I'm up and running with my PDF. Does itextsharp allow for saving PDFs, or directly emailing PDFs?

Peter,

I found that if I created a FileStream I could use the byte array already defined (using your code) to save the PDF. For anyone who might need this solution, below is the code I used for the PDF saving portion.

// code snippet with the first two lines taken from Peter's tutorial, illustrating where b and len used in the FileStream came from...
byte[] b = memStream.ToArray();
int len = b.Lenth;

FileStream fs = File.OpenWrite(Server.MapPath("~/myPDFlocation/myPDFname.pdf));
fs.Write(b, 0, len);
fs.Close();

Response.OutputStream.Write(b, 0, len);
Response.OutputStream.Flush();
Response.OutputStream.Close();

// close the previously defined MemoryStream used to output the iTextSharp created PDF to the browser
memStream.Close();
