Convert HTML TO PDF so that Document Generation can auto page break

Hi Guys,

Need some urgent help here. Main objective....I have a document generation
system written in ASP. It generates documents (invoices, PO ,etc) in HTML format.

When it prints out using IE Print, it can't really count when to page break.
We can't use row count of "<TD>" ....because of the design of our document to know when to break.

So I'm thinking of another solution...converting the HTML into PDF with predefine page size ( fix header , witdh and stuff) with a click of a button.

I'm just browse through ASPPdf by Persist, not sure if I can use that to help me..it seems I have to recode the design of the PDF file I'm going to generate....

What I want is to simply "CLICK" a button to convert my HTML into PDF.

Anyone done it before? Please recommend component or way to do this....

Thanks, I'll take a look.

btw you said "Never used it" as in you never used it?
or your advising me not to use it????

If your advising me not to use it, why? very troublesome component?
