Generating Invoices - Crystal Reports?

[Chris Ashley]

I need to generate invoices in either word or PDF format based on form
values... is crystal reports a viable solution? Somebody told me that the
version which comes with VS.Net Professional 2003 does not include a
deployment licence? If so, where can I find a tutorial?

If crystal reports does not come with a deployment licence, what other
options/free components are available for this sort of thing?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Hi Chris,

You must register your cr.net and Crystal send an activation key to you.

I think our product Virtual Print Engine will exactly fit your
requirements.

It allows to place objects like text, lines and images
programmatically in any position within a document. Afterwards you can
preview and print the document or create it as PDF.

For details, and a fully functional trial version, please see
