I have a windows app in VB Net 2019 that has a report that I wish to save as a PDF file. I setup the report in a group box for the ease of printing, that works will. But It is a must to Save the file to be able to use without the program. A pdf file is the best way bur I cannot get the group box is convert to pdf. I used PDF Sharp to save the form, but the screen shot does not show the full group box and save the complete screen. I need to just save the Group box and all that is inside it, the page is 8 X 10. Can someone help.

Apparently, you need to be able to read Excel data and write PDF.

To work with Excel, use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel. See some code samples:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/657131/how-to-read-data-of-an-excel-file-using-c[^],
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=site%3ACodeProject.com+SAKryukov&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=[

You will find a lot more if you need to.
See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa168292%28v=office.11%29.aspx[^].

To work with PDF, I would recommend iText Open Source library. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IText[^],
http://itextpdf.com/[^].

It has a .NET port called iTextSharp: http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/[^].

Hai here is an example to create a pdf file using itextsharp.dll in vb.net
Dim doc As New Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER, 10, 10, 42, 35)
Dim writer As PdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, New FileStream("D:\Temporary\sample.pdf", FileMode.Create))
doc.Open()

Dim para As New Paragraph("This is my first paragraph")
Dim pharse As New Phrase("This is my first phrase")
Dim chunk_ As New Chunk("This is my first chunk")

doc.Add(para)
doc.Add(pharse)
doc.Add(chunk_)

doc.Close()

Access to the path 'C:\sample.pdf' is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\sample.pdf' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true">, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.
