PDF and ASP.NET

Objective

I want to generate PDF documents from an ASP.NET system (C#), is there
a module for this?

Current

Currently, I write XML objects and then use FO on a PC to get the PDF.
My server does not allow FO to work directly.

I saw some software for sale, but as a whole package, I really want to
write it myself.

Request

Does anyone have any details on PDF and ASP.NET?

As PDF is the Adobe Acrobat File format, I would go to http://www.adobe.com
to find out.

In fact, I did, and they have an SDK:

http://partners.adobe.com/public/dev...index_doc.html

Part of the SDK is an FAQ, which includes information about developing .Net
applications that use Acrobat PDFs:

This seems to be for Windows Forms on a PC, but I have a Web Server
application.

I found TallPDF.net but it costs $499 and I find this kind of costing
outrageous.

As examples for overselling: I was quoted $700 for a bot to check dead
links, so I wrote it myself using Java which took 30 mins for the basic
program, and about 15 hours to develop the whole thing with options. I
was quoted $499 for a C# cart, so again I wrote my own - that took 2
weeks, but at least I can add functions when I like (working with the
DBGrid was a true pain).

I feel that with this PDF issue, the same will apply: £499 software
buy equates to about 20 hours work. SO I would rather produce my own
and then I can also change it for new functions

My server is rented and the host wont install anything, so I am hitting
a BRICK WALL. I would be grateful of any links/suggestions. I feel sure
this problem is not that hard. I know FO can do it, but my host wont
install the software

I asked my host to install Windows Acrobat - previously they refused
