Need suggestions/opinions about pdf/word manipulation

[Brian Simmons]

Hi All,

Not even sure if this is the right group to post to, but I'll give it a shot
here.

I'm using ASP.NET 2, and C#.

Basically, my client has a 2 page contract in Word. It's a pretty simple
boiler template type of thing.
Essentially, I have to insert the FirstName/LastName/Dates, etc... into the
contract.

I believe the client going to want the Word document converted to a PDF.

Any suggestions as to how go about doing this sort of thing?

Thanks,
Brian

Thanks for Mark's input!

Hi Brian,

So are you going to still keep world/excel format at server-side when
processing or convert it to other format? If convert to other format, you
may need a converter component to do the work. Otherwise, you can may let
the user input those necessary fields in some standard html based input
entries and generate or process the word/excel documents at server-side. If
you need to display a response screen with the certain info to client, is
it possible that you display a html based screen(contains the similar info
like those ones in word/excel document)?
