Adobe Acrobat/Creating PDF

Expert: Ken Black - 8/13/2008


Question
Can I use Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Type Library for creating PDF from my .net application.

Kindly suggest me the right way for creating PDF.  

Answer
The type library itself does not create pdfs, you can use the type in your document and then create a pdf.

As far as using a .net application to create a pdf from I am not entirely sure.

What .net application are you using?

Can you save the document to your own computer?

If yes, try using Acrobat.com. Acrobat.com is free and allows you to upload a document and it will create the pdf for you. It does a pretty good job most of the time, though occasionally certain things within a file don't translate perfectly, or it won't recognize the file.

Other solutions can be found on the web in the form of Free Pdf creators. I am not entirely familiar with these or the .net application you are using.

Let me know what app you use and I will attempt to find the solution.

Thanks,
