print to pdf

I'm trying to find out the possibilities of using asp.net to deliver
print-friendly pages for a website. Does anyone have experience with
attempting this or know of any good examples? Can it be accomplished
natively with .net or are components necessary?

There is no way to do it natively with .net, unless you write your own
implementation of PDF generator, I assume that is not a case here.

About half a year ago I faced similiar problem. I was unable to find
suitable free solution then, but I found this: http://www.tallcomponents.com/
- TallPDF.Net is 100% native .net component allowing you to generate PDF
documents using code or XML/XSL transformation. I tryed 5 or six products and
it was the best.

Keep in mind that if you need to use national characters or fonts other than
14 standard PDF fonts, you will have to purhase a Pro version. It was a
problem in my case, because I needed to use Polish characters.
