How to create dynamic PDF 
Question
PDF

Dear all, 


I would use the HTML2PDF extension to create reports in PDF.

But I would not use the URL but dynamically create PDF with my choice tables. Any of you have some examples already done, or any suggestions to follow?


Thank you.

Hi Esteban,

If you want to dynamically create a PDF, take a look at e.g. the iTextSharp component. With HTML2PDF it is not possible to do so.

I have not used it myself. Did you install it? Look at the available actions? Etc.?

iTextSharp characteristics seem to be related to already existing PDF. How can I, through this, create a new PDF?



Thank you in advance.

Hi Esteban,

Since the .NET iTextSharp library can also be used for creating PDFs, I assumed that functionality was also included in the Forge component, but it seems it isn't, apologies. In that case, I don't think there's a ready to use component.

Hi,

You can create a page that receives as query string parameters the tables that you choose to include in the report. That page will build your dynamic report, then just use HTML2PDF with the URL of that page, passing as query string parameters the tables that you want to include.

Hi Rodolfo Cardoso,

Is this reply related to itextsharp component ? I have installed itextsharp in my module. But no idea how to use it as it seems like it has properties related to perform on already existing pdf

Hi Bhakti,


No, the comment is related with HTML2PDF converter.
