The following simple example shows the basic elements using iTextSharp v3.0.3.<br /><br /><br />using iText = iTextSharp.text;<br />....<br /><br />Response.Clear();<br />Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";<br />System.IO.MemoryStream m = new System.IO.MemoryStream();<br />iText.Document document = new iText.Document();<br />iText.pdf.PdfWriter writer = iText.pdf.PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, m);<br />document.Open();<br /><br />document.Add(new iText.Paragraph(DateTime.Now.ToString()));<br />document.NewPage();<br />document.Add(new iText.Paragraph("Hello World"));<br />document.Close();<br /><br />writer.Flush();<br />Response.OutputStream.Write(m.GetBuffer(), 0, m.GetBuffer().Length);<br />Response.OutputStream.Flush();<br />Response.OutputStream.Close();<br />Response.End();<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14109931-112024755262339233?l=alandennis.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alan Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11857838195023606946noreply@blogger.com3
