Generate PDF thru iTextSharp

Hi,
My requirement is to generate a PDF from one of my Visual Web Parts. When I take a reference of the iTextSharp.dll and when I click on the "Generate PDF" button I am getting the below issue.
Could not load file or assembly itextsharp,
Version=4.1.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8354ae6d2174ddca or one of its dependencies. The
system cannot find the file specified
I have also tried with version 5.1.2 and I am getting the same issue except for the version type.
Please suggest as I am having no clue on the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Satish

Hi Rajendran,
The second question is about the usage of iTextSharp library, which is not a MS product, please post in their forum for help:

When trying to generate pdf file from firefox 7.0.1 , getting corrupt content error, used to work with previous versions of firefox

We have done toleration testing on firefox version 5 thru 6 and haven't got an issue with our website generating pdf files for our users. One of our users upgraded to firefox version 7.0.1 and they tried to generate a pdf report, now a screen pops up with Corrupted Content Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. I recreated this issue on my pc yesterday by installing firefox 7.0.1. Any hints as to what I need to look at would help. Cannot provide the url because it is a secure website for law enforcement. Thanks.

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.
Hi Mark,

Generate PDF file in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I have a requirement to create .pdf file while one item is submitted to list/library in SharePoint 2013.
It means when employee inputs his/her data and after submit one pdf file will generated with the summary/relevant data.
Can any one help me to figure out this scenario.
Is it possible with SharePoint out of box feature?
Please help if any solution.
Thank You

you can not achieve this out of box, custom development with integration of 3rd party controls is required to generate pdf files. There are paid components available but i will suggest you to use iTextSharp which is a free open source library to generate
pdf files.
You can refer below link to generate pdf on basis of your requirement.

Hi,
I have tried this code but stil the same.
However i tried setup another tomcat and application in the other machine and the only job for the application is exporting the report that has problem, then the error is gone.
So i guess that is the memory size problem.
Thanks for this
One more question about the memory size between Tomcat and Crystal report.
I have set in catalina.bat as
set JAVA_OPTS = "-Xms2048M -Xmx1024M"
and CRConfig as
<JVMMaxHeap>1024000000</JVMMaxHeap>
<JVMMinHeap>512000000</JVMMinHeap>
1. Is that the correct setting.?
2. The memory in the JAVA_OPT and is the MAX and MIN memory that java would use,
    then is the Max memory in CRConf is 1024M out of the java heap size or the application use another 1024 memory

getting ' Error while generating pdf '
I am working on BI 7.0 .
The same is running fine in the Q Environment .But in Production we are getting this error .
Thanks ,

Hi,
I think this is an ADS error. This is a reason why pdf's are not working. We had the same issue.
You can check your installation:

Error while generating PDF

Hello Guru's,
I have done the ADS configuration setup and checked all configuration settings.It seems everything is working fine but when i select the option "Print Verison" ( I have executed a query using the query designer) i am getting above error.
FYI: Its a BI 700 system and we are at Suport pack10 level (both ABAP+Java). By the way i should let you know that it is a copy of Production.
Here is the log:
Error while generating PDF
com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.pageexport.PageExportRenderingRootNode PageExport1
Error while generating PDF
com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.pageexport.PageExportRenderingRootNode PageExport#
Any thoughts as to what the messages above might be pointing me to?I should appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi.

Hello Dezso,
I have executed the test report FP_TEST_00 and i got a form containing several lines on two pages.I have checked all the configuration checks and got the correct results as mentioned in the ADS document. But when i try to print a query using the query analyzer,i am getting that PDF error. I have no issues with my other BI 700 system.

Hi Experts,
I am currently having the issue that I receive the error "Error while generating PDF" when using the "Print Version" functionality. This problem only occurrs for the Bex Web Query. I know that the ADS service is configured correctly- The webservice test is successful and other applications (Guided Procedures, MSS) also use it successfully.

Thanks in advance for every support,

Hi Jan,
Most possible causes for encountering this issue are:
Possible cause:
- The ADS is installed on a plattform, that is currently not supported by SAP for ADS. Please check the avaliablity at: Product Availability Matrix
- Mixing of different Netweaver releases (NW04 and NW04s) -> This is unfortunatelly not possibble the J2EE engine release has to match with the ABAP stack release in order connect them properly.
- The ADS SP level does not match the J2EE engine SP level. -> Please update the software components to have the same support package level.
Hope this helps!!
Regards,
Arafat

Generate pdf and html(urgent)

can anybody tell how to generate pdf and html from a single report,
thanks in adv

From a single report, you can generate outputs to html, htmlcss, pdf, rtf, XML and text formats.
If you use rwclient, rwrun or rwservlet methods, specify desformat=pdf/html and the destination file name in desname command line parameters.
If you use Reports Builder, open a report, select File->Generate to file and select html/pdf. Then give the file name.
For more details, Refer to Reports Tutorial / Publishing Reports document from this site.

                                   The issues i'm facing are:
When it is reading a row from MS-Excel it is writing to the .pdf file from last cell to first cell.( 2 cell in 1 place, 1 cell in 2 place like if the row has two cells with data as : Name of the Intern: Kesavulu Reddy then it is writing to the .pdf file as Kesavulu Reddy Name of Intern)
and the second issue is:
It is not recognizing the date format..it is recognizing the date in first row only......
Plz Tell me wht is the solution for this...
