I have several reports (.rdlc files) in the project. I need to generate PDF files from these reports, but I need PDF version 1.4 or higher.

Currently I am using the report.Render method to generate a PDF, but the version generated is 1.3. As far as I can tell there is no option to generate a newer version.

Environment: Visual Studio 2010 Windows Forms Application C# .NET Framework 4 Report Viewer 2010

  • Could you please explain *why* you need a v1.4 PDF? To me a PDF is a PDF. If it's got your report in it, who cares what version it is? – ta.speot.is Nov 18 '12 at 01:28
  • The company who is receiving the PDF requires v1.4. I don't understand it either. – 300hp Nov 19 '12 at 14:07

Check out itextsharp.dll http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/ it can write to 1.4 there is also documentation in the download to configure it.

  • I looked at iTextSharp. It would work if I was generating a PDF from scratch, but I can't find any way to use it with an .rdlc file. – 300hp Nov 18 '12 at 22:52
  • @300hp Couldn't you open it and save it again? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3335126/itext-add-content-to-existing-pdf-file – ta.speot.is Nov 20 '12 at 22:04
