Hi,
We have a project that requires a .NET service to convert a Word document to
a PDF document. Basically, a person would create a mail merge template in
Word and through automation, we merge the data and spit out one or more PDF
documents. It appears that the best thing for me to do is get a product
that installs some type of printer driver. The problem is that the drivers
pop up a dialog box prompting for the destination file location. I would
like to do that in code. The standard flow would go something like this:
1. Retrieve Word Document
2. Retreive Data
3. Print result to PDF printer at location X.PDF.
4. Deliver/copy/archive X.PDF
Has anybody done anything like this? What products do you suggest that I
use?
I have spent the last couple days doing research, testing, etc. and am
frustrated with how long it is taking to find a good solution, so I thought
I would ask if anybody has had any similar experiences. I know this topic
has been covered in this newsgroup, but none of the topics seemed to address
this server-side issue. I apologize in advance :-(.
Thank you very much,
Curtis Justus
