I have a business that requires the customer to fill in an ASP agreement form on line. This info is written to SQL using ADO on the server. I would like to send back client through browser for client to print PDF.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

You want server side PDF generation. There are many many ways to do this. First, there are gobs of server side tools, like Crystal Reports, that gererate PDF. There are also libraries like iText, that generate PDFs. Even Cold Fusion and Flex offer server side PDF generation.

Look at [url=http://www.ActivePDF.com]www.ActivePDF.com[/url] first since you are using ASP. I've also seen an PDF component for ASP.NET advertised, but I don't remember the name. I think a google search would turn up several.
