    PDF Creation components

    Hi Everyone,

    I am trying to find a set of components that will allow me to
    programatically create PDF documents, purely in managed code without
    having to use a "printer driver". I have seen some of the commercial
    ones available, and they are really expensive. I was hoping there might
    even be a free one out there somewhere...

    Any suggestions?

    Cheers

    The Frog :)

      Thanks Ken,

      I have had a brief look at the site you suggested, and it says that the
      components are for C#. Will this also work in VB.NET?

        Hi,

        Yes the dll is written in c# but you can add a reference to the dll and
        use it with vb.net
