Hi,

i have some questions and i wonder whether the following is possible to achieve using ASPX to PDF

1) Upon PageLoad(VB.net) to execute the RenderAsPDF()

2) After which storing the PDF on a location on a webserver.

I was wondering whether it is possible without the clicking of buttons to store the aspx page into a pdf automatically upon page load and save it in a location.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can do both fine. To store the PDF on a location on the web server, you will need to:

1. Handle the ASPXToPDF controls' AfterRender event. Inside that event you can get the PdfDocument object, you can then use that object to save the PDF file to disk. See here for sample code:

http://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/1/eo.web.aspxtopdf.afterrender.aspx

2. Optionally, you will need to call RenderAsPDF(false) to prevent the same PDF file being sent to client side. Note the additional "false" argument passed to RenderAsPDF;

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks!
