Building a PDF for printing

I need to run a report and then dynamically make a PDF to print. I am
looking for examples. Is there any free ways to do this

There are many independent software solutions out there, for a nominal fee.
If you have the full version of Acrobat, you can make use of their API as
well. The only free way I know of is to use a PHP script. There are
examples on how to do this. PHP will run alongside .NET on the server,
there are guides on how to do this as well.

If you really want a *free* way check out iText (http://www.ujihara.jp/iTextdotNET/en/); it's in
Java but I think it will compile in .NET.

If you want to spend some money there are a lot of choices; my personal choice is
http://www.xmlpdf.com/

Not the simplest of items to install and make work on deployment, but
Visual Studio comes with a minimal version of Crystal Reports that can
generate PDF files - even streaming them to the browser with the
correct incantations.
