From: AG on 6 Feb 2010 14:31 I realize that there are several products available for generating PDF from HTML,etc. Does anyone know of one that can generate an index also. Client would like a website with their products be able to generate a printable PDF catalog with an index at the end so a product or product category could be looked up to find what pages the item is on. -- AG Email: npATadhdataDOTcom

You could use something like http://www.html-indexer.com/ to create an index of your HTML, then convert it to PDF.

You are 100% correct. I had an (almost) identical requirement from a client a couple of years ago, and I used this: http://www.aspose.com/categories/.net-components/aspose.words-for-.net/default.aspx -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net

Thanks, that is why I posted here for suggestions. I have done similar in Word, but Word is not a valid option for a web application. -- AG Email: npATadhdataDOTcom "Jason Keats" <jkeats(a)melbpcDeleteThis.org.au> wrote in message news:OvUvKJ4pKHA.4280(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > AG wrote: >> I realize that there are several products available for generating PDF >> from >> HTML,etc. >> Does anyone know of one that can generate an index also. >> >> Client would like a website with their products be able to generate a >> printable PDF catalog with an index at the end so a product or product >> category could be looked up to find what pages the item is on. >> > > Creating an index is a difficult thing to do properly, so requires > specialised software along with human intervention. > > You could use something like http://www.html-indexer.com/ to create an > index of your HTML, then convert it to PDF. > > > > |
