I need my asp page (report) to be converted as PDF format. Is there any free 3rd party control available for Classic ASP?
Take a look at
http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
It uses webkit.
Basically it's an EXE. You can call it from ASP (starting a process) and then sending the output file in the response stream.
active pdf and websupergoo are good choices.
Another option is the Adobe FDF toolkit. The fdf toolkit is cool because it lets you store pdf form data, can be saved in a db, and then it populates a pdf.

I am using RESTful API /documents/id to retrieve pdf file as described here. But I get the single-page pdf file even if the document is very large, one big page. However if I try to export pdf by business intelligence designer I will get the pdf in multi-page format. How can I export the document in multi-page format by RESTful API? In the documentation I do not see appropriate parameter, just dpi for pdf...
I found an answer. There is a separate API for this - /raylight/v1/documents/27592/pages, p. 8.1.13.2 of User Guide.
I have a client that wants to store large PDFs (>700MB) on SharePoint 2013. The problem is that viewing the PDF is currently requiring the entire PDF to be download before displaying the first page. I need the browser to display each page of the PDF as it downloads, a feature I believe Adobe calls "Fast Web View" or "Byte Streaming". Here is what I know:
"Fast Web View" is enabled on the PDF document in the Document Properties window.
I can verify that the PDF is "Linearized" by reading the ASCII content.
I have checked the PDF reading options from the PDF Accessibility.
The client has SharePoint 2013 on premise installed.
SharePoint's File Handling is set to permissive.
I have verified PDF is an AllowedInlinedownedMinme type of the Web Application.
Anything else I should check or configure?
It is not enough if the PDF files are linearized (technical term in PDF parlance) or optimized for fast web view (marketing term for that feature).
There need to be two conditions met before taking advantage of fast web view working for the end user:
The PDF viewer needs to be able to make use of the linearized/optimized PDF file features.
The PDF serving remote host (in this case SharePoint) needs to be properly configured to honor 'byte range requests' by the viewer, so downloading chunks of the PDF file may be delivered "out of order".
However,...
...I do not know if SharePoint servers in general do support the second requirement;
...if SharePoint is not the problem, you may want to check which PDF viewer is actually in use in that environment (test it with Adobe Reader -- that one takes advantage of linearized PDF features for sure).
See also this answer to a question from today, which gives a few more technical details:
How are PDF files able to be partially displayed while downloading?
A co-worker identified the problem after comparing the download from SharePoint to that of a working site using WireShark. The SharePoint site didn't include "Byte ranging" in the response headers. In order to enable that feature in SharePoint, you have to enable BlobCache. Beware, BlobCache is not supported in SharePoint foundations.
I'm using MVC4 with Visual Basic to make a web aplication.
In my aplication I am using highcharts and some tables that i would like to export to a PDF to be send by mail.
What's the best way to do it? Server side (Visual Basic) or client side (javascript)? And how could i do it? I have found very poor information about this. Thanks
you can use Winnovative Html to Pdf converter or Evo Html to Pdf Converter
other good example at CodePlex
If you are looking for an Open Soure .NET library I would try PDFSharp. I have used it in the past with Visual Basic and had no problems.
Is it possible with Lotus Notes 8.5 to write a program (assuming an Agent) that will automatically export the email as a PDF document where the name of the document will be the subject line of the email?
I am being told by our lovely IT people that this will take months worth of effort to investigate, test and implement.
Surely there is a function that could be called to do this?
Can anyone please point me in the direction of a tutorial or help doc etc that I can read so I can have some more information to speak more authoritatively with our IT guys.
My intention is then to hand this information to the Domino Design team to ask them to build the function (without taking months to do so). :-)
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
There is a third party application called PD4ML which allows you to export to PDF format. They also supply samples on how to do this in the Notes client.
http://www.pd4ml.com/lotus.htm
You would need to create an agent that runs on new mail arriving.
There is also some sample code on SearchDomino.

Alternative option is also available, user can save Lotus Notes email to PDF format through third party Lotus Notes to PDF tool with 100% secure manner.

There's an "industry standard" tool to export Lotus Notes documents to PDF.
This tool is Swing PDF Converter.
Please check it out here: http://www.swingsoftware.com/pdf-converter/overview
Swing PDF Converter supports Lotus Notes format emails (RTF) and HTML - MIME email conversion to PDF.
There is also advanced support for pdf document naming, single document conversion, batch conversion, document archiving option and even support for automatic upload to document repositories such as MS Sharepoint, Alfresco, Filenet, etc..
A client is asking how to create an interactive PDF form with functionality that allows the values entered into the form to be processed on the server.
From what I've read, the best way to do this is to program the submission by embedding javascript into the PDF file via Acrobat, then writing code on the server side to handle the submission.
Does anyone have experience doing this sort of thing? Is the best way to do this indeed by using javascript in the pdf file and using that to post the form values to the server-side form processing method?
If you do that, is there any way to pass back values to the PDF file that the form processed successfully?
We have used the DynamicPDF viewer from ceTE software.

If the requirement is just to pull data out of PDF form fields, Javascript may not necessarily be required. Javascript can certainly be used with form fields to handle certain requirements (oftentimes auto-calculation and validation), but it might be overkill for just setting and getting data.
There are APIs that will set and get data from PDF form fields pretty easily. One toolkit that does so is EasyPDF SDK, which has a PDFDocument class designed for exactly this:
http://www.pdfonline.com/easypdf/epsdk_manual/index.htm?page=reference%2Fpdfdocumentsdk%2Fpdfdocument%2Fdescription.htm
Whether it will work for your needs will depend largely on whether the PDF has already been created or not. If it's already been created with fillable form fields, then EasyPDF SDK can be used to read data from the fields and insert data into them. But if you don't have the PDF template created yet, then you'd need Adobe tools like Acrobat Professional to do that first.
I will disclaim that I am part of the engineering team for EasyPDF SDK, so I have a vested interest in the tool. But it's nifty and easy to use, and is geared for server side deployment, so feel free to check it out at http://www.pdfonline.com if you feel so inclined. Hope this helps.
