Convert HTML to PDF - need a .net component to do this

Hi, I need to convert HTML files to PDF using a .net component. I've seen
components that do this but they all are either com wrappers on activex
controls, or print to a 'Convert to PDF' printer. We can't use either of
these options - we need very quick conversion and will be producing high
volumes of html/pdf files.

Does anyone know of a .net component that will convert to PDF - ideally made
by a fairly large vendor so we can get decent support etc.

Many thanks,
Andy.

Andy,

In my opinion is this vendor the first to look at.

Thanks, but as far as I can tell, I need to spend 195 euro just to join the
partner program so I can download the SDK. Does the SDK provide a .net
component that will do what I need?

Thanks,
Andy.

There is iTextSharp that does this.
There are some limitations but it worked for basic stuff.

working examples:

There are a bunch of other options as well. For example if it is PDF
*reports* that you want, Crystal Reports generates them in PDF format.

etc
