Create pdf file dynamically in vb.net for .net 1.1 framework
- by Urbycoz
I need to create a pdf file dynamically in vb.net. It needs to contain several images and lines of text.
I am using VS 2003, so whatever solution I use will need to be compatible with the .net 1.1 framework.
The current method I am using is wpcubed, but this requires that all images be converted to bmp format before adding them to the pdf, which can be extremely slow when dealing with a large number of images.
I am aware that there are an awful lot of other 3rd party products that claim to do this, and I have had a search through them. But without registering, downloading, installing and writing code to use each of them in turn, it is very difficult to differentiate between them. So far I have looked into evo pdf and pdfsharp but neither seem to work with .net 1.1. (Although they don't make this abundantly clear.)
Has anyone else found a method that works and they would recommend (a free one-if possible)?
