PDF Generator

Mike.. did you ever take a look the different PDF Generators??

Ok.. I'll wait for Mike then. I'm really curious. No one on most of the forums has much production experience with any of these yet.

Mike Gold is reviewing their products for the site. I am waiting to see what he says.

No. I have not.

Mahesh, I've seen TallComponents and taken a look at it, but I didn't really like the licensing on it. Do you have an production experience with it? I know the Acrobat suite is nice, but I do need the API and complete control to generate complicated PDFs. I've seen Chive Software has XSL-FO to generate PDFs, and O2 Solutions has a product as well.. Has anyone really used them??

Tall Components provide API and products for PDF functionality. Check them out at tallcomponents.com.

We use the Acrobat full suite at work, but really all we need is the printer driver for what we do (auto-generate reports from server side code for pasting to a webserver). Some of our guys also use Distiller (Which I believe only comes with the full suite but not sure) for turning custom PostScript into PDFs. Seems to work, but I wouldn't mind picking up a printer-driver only version for here at my home office if anyone else has any suggestions.
