Has anyone any information on doing this?

for example i want to create an online invoice via html/asp and can be downloaded as a pdf file.

thanks

Not sure about asp, but there are a couple of libraries for PHP to do this

http://www.fpdf.org/

A quick search on the web gave me http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/components/how-do-i-generate-pdf-files-from-asp.html but I can't vouch for any of them because I don't use asp....

Best of luck!

Is there a reason you need it to be a pdf file? Much easier to get the data from asp to ms-word (and microsoft offer a free word document viewer that the user can download to view the file if they do not have office) however please follow the following link to a tutorial on how to generate pdf documents using asp:

smaller files and document security as they're going to be invoices

I use www.abcpdf.com to do this. You need the com installed on your server to do it but it works great!
