hello,
i have an application that builds up a large "incident report" for a
law enforcement agency. In the end this is represented in a large
object containing many properties and collections related to the
incident.
we now need a way to produce a PDF for printing. what are common ways
to do this?
ive seen some organizations use DataDynamic's ActiveReports for this,
whereby they create an XSL report-pdf template and an XML doc for the
content, and mash the two.
....does anybody have any good recommendations for things that easy to
work with?
thanks!

Which, unless it has been updated since I last looked at it, doesn't
actually support printing.
And they don't even have a v2.0 version yet...

Yes it does, but that's not what the OP asked...
What do you mean does not support printing?
By "support printing" I mean "contain the functionality to send a PDF to a
printer's print queue and kick off that print job automatically" - what on
earth did you think I meant...?
Printing is Adobe's jobe once PDF is created...
LOL! So someone has to constantly monitor a folder for new PDF documents and
then print them manually? That's not going to help the OP much...

Have no idea what are you talking about... What printer's queue. What folder
to monitor.
The way i am using it: 1. generate PDF (stream) and 2. output it to
browser....
Then user looks at pretty report in PDF format, then prints it if he likes
it or saves it to his harddrive. And as i understood this is what guy
asked... how to generate PDF report and (may be i implied since it's ASP.NET
group) to show it on client side.
No folders to monitor. Since PDF never actually made into real file. It's
written into Response stream as it generates.
Also printing becomes customer's headache. May be he does not even have
printer and he wants to email it.
PS: printing PDF is easy use this command AcroRd32.exe /p /h "filename"
But it needs to be run on client and i do not see how to do it from ASP.NET

Create the PDF, output to the browser. Adobe Reader comes up, opens
the PDF. User clicks PRINT.

Have you tried the Microsoft ReportViewer control?
While I've only used it for repeating data, no reason that it can't be
a full form that fields are pulled from a db. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I am having a problem with printing selected pages. Actually, the problem
isn't with printing selected pages as it is more to do with having blank
pages print for those pages that have not been selected.
For example, if I were to have 5 pages with every second page printing, I
would get the following results:
Page 1 = Print OK
Page 2 = Blank
Page 3 = Print OK
Page 4 = Blank

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
