Thread: Creating PDF files with Classic ASP

One of the things my employer wants me to develop is a Server Side script that will allow a report in PDF format to be generated online to customers who make use of the tools.

The problem is that it appears ASP Classic dosen't support generating PDF files without some kind of DLL Libaries to back up the process. Now as for implementing them on a local host, this is pretty easy to do using the normal FAQ's from other sites. The problem exists with generating a PDF file from a webspace provided to us by an Internet Service Provider. You can't actually put the DLL's in any local root folder on an FTP site (As there is no C:\Windows\System32 folder), so I am unsure if ASP can actually import DLL libaries so that they can be accessed by the ASP code. Would they need to be Imported manually? Is there a certian directory where they are registered and accessed (like the public\Com folder). In the end, due to the limitations of Classic ASP I need the ability to post data to a PDF file in order to generate the required reports. Can it be done, or will I have to hack around it with PHP, or Actionscript 3 programming in order to get it to work? Any assistance on this issue would be most appreciated
