Hi guys,
I have a business request of being able to generate reports from images or pdfs and add watermarking or custom texts to the reports that will finally be printable/exportable in pdf on the web.
I was wondering if it's possible to do so and would like some input from the forums on whether the reporting tool is a good solution for such a request. ( This is because I would like to use of the wonderful reporting viewer control for preview/printing/exporting to pdf)
A typical scenario would have probably a list of image files or mutliple pdf files ( with many pages inside) where I would like to add to the report which would definitely have a header/footer custom text and needs to have a watermark imprint on the report itself. The size of the image is not fixed and will need to be resized to fill up 1 typical report page
If its possible to do so, can someone direct me with some form of pseudo code or code samples especially in the part where I iterate through the pages in the pdf to add to the report.
If its not possible to do so, can someone direct me to any good telerik control from the asp.net ajax suite that might be able to perform what I just listed above. - or any other 3rd party tool.
I have been using Telerik reporting for all our business requirements and would prefer to continue doing so and would like some help with how I can include all the pages in the pdfs or a List<image> into the report as well as defining the size of the image to fit nicely in a portrait A4 size when being printed.
Regards
Jonathan
