Hi,
I'm new to DNN (I'm a classic ASP programmer) and would like some advice on the feasibility of deploying my latest job using DNN rather than classic ASP. The task is to publish a handbook which will be stored in MSSQL Server and maintained by an admin. The handbook will be organised by Chapters and Sections (and ideally I'd like a treeview to display the document hierachy). The users will see those chapters they've subscribed to and be able to dowbload them as PDFs.

Is there any single module which would do this, or might it be possible to achieve the same end using several modules in concert e.g. a User Defined Table and a PDF Reporting module?

Any advice would be welcome before I start sharpening my pencils and programming in ASP.

Regards
Rae MacLeman

The Help module does exactly this.  It exports to XML so you can apply any XSL to create the document.  Its a core module that Im responsible for.
