asp.net : word document to PDF


J

Hi, all
I have an asp.net page which can let users generated monthly report based on a
15 pages word document (as template), I created several "fields" in the doc
file, then all I need to do just pull data from database, then insert into those
fields, then display doc at web browser, then I am done.

But now, project manager needed PDF file instead. So, is there any easy way I
can convert doc to pdf on the fly? or I can do the same thing as word document
because I do not want to save these 15+ pages file in the web server for each
user.

If you have the money, you can buy a component that lets you generate PDFs
on the fly.

There's also an open source library
