Using classic asp and the FDF toolkit I can populate and save a form as an fdf file. I can also send a pdf to a browser. If the user clicks save he can save the completed form as a pdf on his local pc. Is there a way to programmatically save the form as a pdf on the server?

>> Is there a way to programmatically save the form as a pdf on the server?You could submit the data (FDF/xFDF/XDP/XML) to a server side script (ASPX). The script would need to use a 3rd party component, such as iText, iTextSharp, or FDFToolkit.net, to merge the PDF data and a blank PDF that's on your server.

iText products are open-source, and free from a monetary standpoint. FDFToolkit.net is reasonably priced, and allows developers to license freely. FDFToolkit.net comes with 1 year of free technical support, and it uses iTextSharp technologies.
