Those not being "third party" or not being a "components"?
Over here we are not pdp-ers per se.

I would not dream of thrashing your believes.

If you know the pdf structure definitions up to the byte or bit level,
you could construct a string that could be sent as a bitstream
under ASP using either Jscript or VBscript,
though it seems not very practical.

The same could be said for a .gif or even .jpg bitstream.

Why bother converting it?

http://www.aspxnet.it/public/default.asp

(the English translation isn't working, but you can still download the code
easily enough)

Someone has already done the conversion to javascript, you can just include
it and use it from ASP as is :)

Hardly - a compiled DLL will be much much faster than ASP code. If you want
performance, go with COM/DLL. But as you don't have this option, you'll have
to settle with the ASP code version.

Classic ASP:Generate PDF without using third party components

Hi,

I noticed that PHP have the ability to create PDF files without using any
third partty componentys. Most notably is via FPDF. It generates PDF by
using "pdf markups" / or ghostscripts

I believe the same can be done via ASP too. One has to use response.write
pdf headers.

Has anyone succeeded in doing that?

Please advise. Thanks

I have the intention to go thru PHP's FPDF and try to convert that to
VBScript.

Thanks.
