I tested the PDF generator with ASP and it worked fine. To use this tool in production I must generate a 4 page document inserting variables from an ASPX page that a user would key in.
For example there are company and address fields to plug in. However, must I format the rest of the boilerplate document in code? Is there a way to pull the template from Word, insert the variable fields, then generate the PDF? Otherwise this will take forever.... Thx. I am coding in VB.

Hi,

The current version won't be able to do that. We will have a new release within two weeks that will allow you to convert a HTML page into PDF. So you would basically create your output with ASP.NET, then give our component the Url of your page. It will convert the whole page into a PDF file (and automatically pages them into multiple pages). The final result will be the same as you see from your browser. All scripts will be executed. You will also be able to give our component HTML code instead of a Url.

Thanks!
