Hello,

I'm looking for a library or a product that I can call to generate a PDF
document from an HTML document. The catch is that it would be running from
within the context of a .NET service. I have found a lot of products that
will work fine in an interractive desktop environment, but nothing that
really works on the back end.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Has anybody had similar needs and how
did you solve them?

Thanks in advance,
cj
 
Check out http://activepdf.com/

We use their activePDF Server product for a web based application that does
pdf conversion on the fly. I'm sure some combination of their products will
do what you need.

Jason,

Thank you for the link. Our report generation is going to be very bursty,
so the 120 documents/hour limit might small for what we are looking to use.
Are you licensed for additional amounts and, if so, how much?

Thanks again,
cj
 
It's never been an issue for us. I ran a batch job recently that had to
rebuild about 10,000 pdfs, and I didn't run into any limit problems, so I'm
not sure exactly what part of the functionality is limited. You should
probably discuss it with them if you think it could effect you.
