Converting HTML to PDF

Hi,

I have a fairly urgent requirement to generate PDF documents from within a
C# .NET component, based on generated HTML reports. These HTML reports
contain images and use CSS styles extensively. I need to incorporate proper
paging and section breaks into these PDF documents also.

I've googled this process and there seems to be a myriad of tools out there!
Instead of re-inventing the wheel I'd really appreciate any recommendations
from people that have done this. Basically what tools/products do you
recommend and why.

All info is greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

Glenn.

Hi all, I'm having a bizarre problem converting XML files to HTML using an XSLT. The problem is only occuring in my Netscape 7.0 browser. What makes it more bizarre is that it is only happening when I put my XML files and the .xsl files on my ISP's system for my home page. If I try to open the XML files in Netscape 7.0 on my own machine (ie, not on the ISP's system), the pages convert file and the result is displayed in HTML.

I was never inclined to do so (I am no computer expert), and when upon his suggestion I looked how my pages (converted to...

Which XHTML variant would you recommend? The w3c HTML validator mentions XHTML 1.0 Transitional, Basic, Strict, and XHTML 1.1. Would I be able to make my existing CSS work in the XHTML page without modification to the .css file?

I've never used user controls before, so I'm wondering what I need to add and remove to each UC (or HTML file) to make this work. For instance, I...
