Looking for a .net to PDF tool

TheVillageCodingIdiot

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good .net to PDF tool that has
support for design time rendering. Our company has a PDF tool already
but you cant see the result until you run the application. It works ok
but annoying to have to keep running the application to see what the
pdf will look like then make the changes, run again, and repeat. I
looked on the web a bit and so far all the ones i found are the same
where you cant see the pdf till you run it. Currently we are using
ASPPDF.

PS if it could suck in a html file and create a PDF would be a plus :P

Thank you in advance.

..NET to PDF - you want to turn a framework into a pdf document ? ;-)

not sure exactly what you want to do but crystal reports as bundled with
visual studio works well for us.

As I read it, you only need extra licensing in the case where your web app
is something that you sell/distribute - the clients that purchase the app
for installation on their own servers require a cr license.
If you use cr on your own websites, regardless of who uses it, then you are
good to go. Of suppose there is the whole, "public browing is
redistributing debate", but that would apply to content and the license
specifically says "If you wish to redistribute a web application" not "If
you wish to redistribute a cr report" ...

http://www.businessobjects.com/product/catalog/crystalreports/lic...

"Web applications that include .Net runtime engine can be freely
redistributed internally only. If you wish to redistribute a web application
to an external third-party, you will have to acquire a copy of Crystal
Reports 2008 for each company the application is distributed to."
