You would need a component from adobe (or activePDF were releasing one) that
allowed you to extract the contents of a PDF back into text, you would then
have to manipulate the text and other objects and write them out again as a
PDF. There are .NET PDF components pdf995.com, adcpdf etc. you could do the
second part with. The first part comes with a whole loads of issues,
security - protected PDF's - diagrams etc. No easy feat at all I'm afraid.

John,
Can you recall any specific component? I have been looking for about a
week now and agree that the licensing of ActivePDF would require an dedicated
(therefore expensive) setup.
15seconds.com does not list any component that would allow for merging of
information into an existing PDF. This is usually my first resource on
these matters. Any leads would help greatly. Thank you.
Paul.

news:%2****************@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... There are components (some free) for PDF - ActivePDF is more for the
conversion of documents and comes with specific licensing, I cant see
any ISP offering this out of the box as the installation is requires DCOM
modifcations to the server. You are probably going to require a
dedicated hosting service.

news:u8**************@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... Hi,
Does anyone use/know of a web hosting provider that they would
recommend? We need to generate pdfs on the fly and our current provider does not
offer ActivePDF?
Thank you for reading and maybe helping.
Paul.
