Is it possible - someone know of a module that does this - to create a PDF file dynamically based upon a database query, with static intro pages, dynamic TOC and a page break between each record returned?

I have a need to allow folks to view content online (not a problem) as well as download a PDF as described above.

I would be happy to have the PDF file recreated based upon a schedule rather than upon a user request for performance purposes.

Do-able or already done? (Actually, would like to have it available both in PDF and MS Word).

You might be interested in the PDF Generator that I built that is based on iTextSharp.  For more information, free vb source code and a link to the iTextSharp project on SourceForge, please visit my website: http://www.wesnetdesigns.com/Projects/PDFGenerator/tabid/83/Default.aspx

Although this project as it now stands handles my needs (a tabular presentation of data from a SQL query) at this time, it would need considerable extension to provide dynamic TOC, etc. but does show how iTextSharp can be be utilized as a PDF engine. Its output may also be viewed on the site for which it was developed: http://www.ctamaine.org/Centers/tabid/63/Default.aspx (click on the Make PDF button).

Bill,

Great modification there!

Now, that I found this, I might actually get around to building my reports the way I want them now....
