Generate PDF/ Microsoft Word Reports using ASP.NET

Question

I want to ask for the best way to generate a PDF and Microsoft Word Documents using ASP.NET.

I have used XSLT transformation, but the results was not good, and the major of XSLT processors are commercial and not free.

I need to create a simple document have a header, footer and some tables and images.

can anyone provide me with the best technology to do this job.

Thanks

Answer 1

I had this question a little while ago. I wrote some really neat stuff for PDF generation.

iTextSharp or XSL-FO to create a PDF dynamically with fillable forms?

PM me and I can send you some files.

Answer 2

IText is a good free library for creating PDF documents. http://itextpdf.com . Works great with both WinForms and ASP.Net.
