    Hi,

    There is a package that sounds like it's right up your alley - XSL PDF Creator - allows you to create PDFs from Umbraco content/pages. 

    If I recall the Case Studies on the Vizioz site is using this.  Chris also posted some blog articles explaining how he achieved this:

    Hope this helps,
    Tom

    Hi Max,

    You can use ITextSharp, plenty of codesamples on the web how to convert HTML to PDF using ITextSharp, but it isn't as easy and flexible as the XSL PDF Creator. So it propably takes longer to develop with ITextSharp than with the XSL PDF Creator, might be worth to pay for the product.

    Just my 2 cts.

    Cheers,

    Richard
