I want to use ASPXToPDF to programmatically convert and save a document without the document being loaded into the web page. I searched the forums and thought I found a good thread, but the example uses the following

ASPXToPDF1.RenderAsPDF(false); // Call ASPXToPDF1_AfterRender

which doesn't appear to be supported in the version I have

The version of RenderAsPDF that I have just has two options

RenderAsPDF()
RenderAsPDF(filename)

Using either of these is causing the document to be rendered in the browser. Is there a way to just get the document to be saved without viewing it?

That's the one I was looking at, but in my version there is no RenderAsPDF(false). And when I use RenderAsPDF(); it still renders to the web page.

Ok, I've got the latest version and am handling the AfterRender event. But the content is still being displayed in the browser.

Here is my code:

protected void ASPXToPDF1_AfterRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HtmlToPdfResult result = (HtmlToPdfResult)ASPXToPDF1.Result;
PdfDocument doc = result.PdfDocument;
//Convert to a byte array
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
doc.Save(stream);
byte[] data = stream.ToArray();
Evaluatee = UiUtils.LookupSEUserFromSecureQueryString(SiteSettings);
long rootFolderId = SiteSettings.RepositoryMgr.Repository(Evaluatee.Id).Root.Id;

RepositoryItem ri = SiteSettings.RepositoryMgr.AddRepoItemWithFirstBitstream(Evaluatee.Id,
rootFolderId, data, "application/pdf", "Snapshot - " + DateTime.Now.ToString(), "snapshot.pdf", ".pdf", string.Empty, data.Length);

SiteSettings.SEMgr.InsertReportSnapshot(SiteSettings.ActiveUser.Id, ri.Id, SiteSettings.CurrentSchoolYear, SEReportType.FINAL);
}

EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.Options.FooterHtmlFormat = "<div style='text-align:center'>Page {page_number} </div>";
ReportHelper.LoadReport(evaluatee, true, true);
UiUtils.AddEOPDFLicense();
if (print)
{
ASPXToPDF1.RenderAsPDF("FinalReport.pdf");
}
else
{
ASPXToPDF1.AfterRender += new EventHandler(ASPXToPDF1_AfterRender);
ASPXToPDF1.RenderAsPDF(false);
}

With RenderAsPDF("foo.pdf"), the user is prompted with a Open/Save/Cancel and if you click Open a separate PDF window is opened.

With RenderAsPDF(false), the user is presented with the HTML version of the page in the browser.

My desired behavior is for a user to be viewing the report page and have two buttons: Print and Save. When they click Print a new window with the PDF doc is generated. When they click Save I want to just save out a version of the file to the server and add it to a list of saved versions that are displayed on the page. I can't figure out how to get that functionality to work for the Save case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Anne
