Using PDFCreator in a Web application

PDFCreator PDFCreator English

Hi All,

I looked for solution in the forum but I haven't found what I was looking for. I hope someone will be able to help me.

Basically I have a web application and I need the client to be able to download the current page as a PDF. It is quite straitforward to do using Javascript but PDF Creator needs to be installed on the client.

Ideally I would need to use PDFCreator server side using c# to create a pdf file / stream on the server and then return that file / stream to the client so it can be downloaded.

Is it something that can be done with PDF Creator?

Thanks in advance,

Franck_

We do something very like this, though it isn't working using Win 7 / x64 as a server right now and apparently Server 2008 is not working either.

But the basic idea is to have your application print to PDFCreator with PDFCreator set to autosave to a directory that is accessible from the web server. Then the HTML page that you return is built to contain a link to the PDF file.
