Hi,

We have a web application that uses .NET Web API (C#). Currently we came across a sitution where we need to generate a report in PDF with large data. Now we are using iTextSharp to convert to PDF. But the file size is too big. When doing R&D, found adobe acrobat PDF conversion.  But I was not able to find out any proper guide for converting to PDF from a C# Web API program. 

Is it possible to convert as PDF using adobe from C# program (web application)? Any .NET libraries exists for this purpose from adobe? 

It would be very helpful if someone can assist me with this as soon as possible.

Thanks.

You would need Adobe Acrobat (either Standard or Pro) installed on every system that needs to output PDF. Here is some informaion about how to save to PDF from any application by printing to the Adobe PDF printer: https://khkonsulting.com/2013/01/prevent-the-save-dialog-when-printing-to-the-adobe-pdf-printer/
