Recently we started to experience printing problems when various users reported that our aspx pages on a web-based application produced unexpected results when printing in different environments. We realised that the problem was a direct result of browser issues and printer settings on the users' machines, over which we had no control.
We decided to start looking for a solution to generate PDF documents straight from our IIS6 (Asp.Net 3.5) web server, and send it straight to the browser for printing. After an extensive search, WebSuperGoo's ABCPDF came out tops.
ABCpdf is a powerful pdf creation toolkit, which allows user to create
dynamic PDF documents, to open, read and modify existing pdf files, it
was designed for multi-threaded environments like IIS, it can be used
within ASPX, ASP, VB, MTS, .NET services. It contains many examples
which helps user understand the way how pdf document can be created and
managed.
The toolkit supports jpeg, gif, tiff, bmp, png, exif,
wmf, emf image formats, embeds selected fonts into pdf files,
customizes text settings (paragraph spacing, line spacing, horizontal
justification, etc.), encrypts pdfs with passwords (40 and 128-bits) and
supports pdf printing.
ABCpdf converts HTML to pdf format,

and image rotation and zooming, page insertion, layers, fields and
