I think that it is unfortunate that I am not a PHP programmer as there seem to be so many more products out there which are free and do jobs really well.

However, in ASP there is far less that is free and works out of the box.

Although, in a business environment, I often find that free is definitely not the most important thing and that what does become a priority is being able to use a tool very quickly without having to spend too much time learning how to use the program.

Took me quite a while to find a product which actually worked as advertised in ASP, so thought that I would let you know about ABCpdf.net .

I really wanted a very simple way to create a PDF document by feeding in HTML. The problem was that most of the solutions out there wanted you to do it by coordinates and line by line. What I wanted to do was to just feed some html and the pdf document to be formed.

That is pretty much what ABCpdf.net does.

It has pretty good documentation which only took me a few minutes to go through before I felt very confident that I would be able to use it successfully.

Oh…the other thing about it which was a bonus was the price. There was another solution out there which was about a thousand dollars, but why go for the more expensive option when the first one works.

I did have a slight problem installing it at first as I don’t have a typical setup. However an email to support was answered in about 5 hours and they gave me the solution which worked. That always gives me the confidence which I need when making a purchase and I probably wouldn’t had used it had they not replied.

I am using ABCpdf.net as part of Instant Content Robot, so that you can create a PDF quickly out of chosen articles. The feedback that I have received on that function so far has been stellar and it is great to be able to use something which works well out of the box.

It is definitely my intention to further develop the PDF functionality of ICR, so it is good to know that although I am only using the basic functions of ABCpdf.net that there is a long way forward if I want to use some of their more advanced features in the future.

They also have some other products which I haven’t used yet, but will do when I need that functionality. All in all, I have been very happy with my experience in using this company.

ABCpdf.net is a great solution to use if like me you enjoy programming in ASP or ASP.net and also want to easily create PDF documents on the fly. Once I had found this solution, I didn’t have to go and then look for anyting other. This was the solution for me and I am very happy that I found it.
