What do I need to enable end users to create PDFs from a Web applicaton? What software do I need? Adobe or 3rd party products.
 
The site enables users to create reports. We need to give them the ability to create or print to PDF on the fly.
 
I am guessing there are server side utilities or APIs.
  
Many thanks

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

This is a huge subject, and can't be effectively addressed in this forum. Yes... there are server-side utilities for you to look at. Start at appligent.com, apago.com or activepdf.com. Adobe also has server-side products for this, depending on your needs.

what are the details behind the statement:

"Adobe also has server-side products for this, depending on your needs."

i can't find any of these products. Can you tell me their names? I'm specially looking for .NET solution(s)

Perhaps the reference is to [url=http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/]Adobe LiveCycle ES[/url]

A snippet from the product's SDK LiveDocs:

Quote:
Create a Microsoft .NET client assembly that consumes the GeneratePDF service WSDL.
Reference the Microsoft .NET client assembly.
Create a GeneratePDFServiceService object or GeneratePDFServiceServiceWse object (if DIME attachments are used) by using your proxy class’ constructor.
or see if the hits from the search string [i]"microsoft ".NET" to create pdf"[/i] provide some possible paths to follow.

Be well...
