Printing to PDF

Hello!

I need an advice about a problem that haunts me lately. I develop a suite of applications and some of them are generating documents (invoices, report etc.). Not a single problem to preview or print them, but i want to be able to save the documents as PDF, preferably using a PDF virtual printer. I found some solutions, but in all of them, i have to insert the PDF file name manually and i need/want that to be done as an automated process (the names of the documents are generated by applications, using a predefined set of rules).

Any idea/suggestion/advice is welcome.

Thanks!

have a look at ceTe dynamic PDF

The evaluation Version is normally sufficient to generate PDF reports.. some of the Advanced PDF Drawing routines are disabled, but you can place text and draw lines.. which is all we needed...

We now simply generate all reports in PDF, and use Adobe to display...

what I also like is that you can generate a Page template that it will use for the current report, that it will use as a base for all pages in that report..

Also it allows you to programatically generate a file name, and allows you to keep a history of all reports generated..

You could also consider iTextSharp :

Thank you, but is not exactly what i need. The main issue is the graphic layout of the documents (as you can see in attached image). That's why i was thinking of a virtual PDF printer. But i need to send the file name automatically, not inserting it manually, as Nitro PDF Printer or similars are working.

Using a PDF generator means to re-write the whole code for documents. It is a very laborious work and clock is ticking!

CutePDF supports bypassing of the Save As dialog. See http://www.cutepdf.com/support/faq.asp

That's what i'm looking for!

Thank you S_M_A, i'm in your debt!
