Display Report as PDF

[crjunk]

I need to create report as a PDF through WebSpeed. I'm new to WebSpeed so this is all one big learning process for me.

This will be an invoice that users will print out and mail in to us. Is it possible to run a CrystalReport through WebSpeed and have it return a PDF to the browser? Are there any other solutions?

Thanks,
CR Junk

Try to take a look at pdfinclude. We use it for our WebSpeed applications to generate reports. It's mighty versatile, you can even work with templates.

Yep, I'd go with pdfinclude as well. When I installed it on a windows box it almost immediately worked. Running on Unix took a little longer and some hacking in the code but now that the bugs are ironed out it works quite well.
