Final sample finished, well maybe not final :D



Tonight I used the iTextSharp libraries to transform RSS into the iTextSharp XML dialect, then transform it into PDF. This library is awesome and open source. If you haven't checked it out, I suggest you do. It is a .NET implementation of a Java library set called iText so some of the method names might bug you :D. I forgot how clean (and dirty) C# can actually be until I opened the source to make it support stream as input to the XmlParser instead of the filepath string it supports today.

Hi Jeff, how are you?

We are currently making use of iTextSharp in our project that takes a sales quote, writes it in XML format and then uses iTextSharp to convert the XML file to PDF using the XSLT.

The problem I am having is getting it to work when deployed. It works perfectly on the development machine but only produces a PDF file with 0 bytes for size which is not correct.

Have you ran into that problem?

Thanks

Gerry
