I am looking to convert db data to a pdf using asp.

If you look at my site here (http://77.246.162.136/environment.asp?pid=28&t=Carbon%20Footprint%20Mapping) you will see a little pdf icon to the left of the content.

If you click on that it pulls the page data from the DB and converts it to a pdf file. The only problem is that this is quite expensive to buy a license and was hoping that someone might be able to suggest a cheaper option.

Thanks!

I have in the past used Imagemagick (http://www.imagemagick.org) to generate PDF files - writing information from a database onto a PDF template file. I'm afraid I can't find any code I could post as an example - I do recall it being a mightily fiddly job, though :(
