Hello,
I'm having so much problems concerning one thing that I thought it was very simple, so let me explain in few words....
I need to generate pdf bills for different customers, with different template of bills. They want to give me pdf files with their own templates and appearence, which I will use after for generating their bills.
Cannot find anywhere a way to use templates, neither in infragistics.Documents.Report library nor in .NET libraries.
I'^m lost and don't know what to say to my boss.
It seems like if nobody ever had the same problem.
Please help me, I can't find a way to do that :
template.pdf + infragistics.documents.reports data generation = bill.pdf
Thank you so much.
Michael.
As Petar said, the Infragistics document library does not support the loading of reports from pdf files directly. And as suggested, guess you may firstly save as XML and then convert XML into PDF file. Or maybe integrate a .NET PDF creation library into your project for PDF generation.
Hello Michael,
The Infragistics Document library currently does not support the loading of reports from pdf files directly. For reports created with the engine, it is possible to save them as XML which may then be used for reloading. The functionality for loading PDFs directly has therefore been determined to be a new product idea.

Thank you for contacting Infragistics.
At least can I use the save() method included in the report library to save a pdf file that was not created by the infragistics engine, so I can re use it as a template ?
If possible, how can I manage it ?
Thanx for every suggestion.
Michaël.
