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
