Asp.net webform to pdf

Question

I have a simple asp.net registration form where users fill out the information to register. I have it captured in an oracle database.

Is there a way i can generate a pdf from the data in the database and show it like a actual pdf form?

I looked at itextsharp and it has some licensing restrictions. What are some of the other free solutions that stackoverflow users has used that will help my problem?

Thanks

Answer 1

itextsharp is free to use for non-commercial development, but if you use for commercial development then you either need to obtain a license or make your code available under the GPL license.

Here are some alternatives to itextsharp:

• PDFSharp is a free option, however its latest release is from 2009.

• There is an open-source version of PDFjet .

• PDF Clown

Answer 2

You can get the form with contents as PDF, by using the service pdfmyform.com - this is a commercial service that lets you convert the whole webpage including form contents in one go to a PDF, without any development. There's a free plan for limited use.
