We're webifying a winforms app with a mix of active reports and crystal reports. All will somehow be converted to PDF. There are so many tools out there. Anyone have experience with/recommendations for tools that we can use?
SQL Reports are one possibility, but I'd like to explore other options instead of just taking what initially seems to be the easy way.
Have you taken a look at iTextSharp?

I have used http://www.websupergoo.com/abcpdf-1.htm and it works really well for me. You can add images and everything. I am using it where I take XML and XSLT as a template, pass in the transform (the XSLT converts to HTML) and the PDF generator will generate my page properly.
Yes, the component has a cost, but I find it worth it some times to pay a small cost then spending hours and hours trying to get something else to work.
