Today has been frustrating. I have been looking for a decent component that can accept a URL and generate a PDF. There are many available, but they all have server-based licensing. Does anyone know of a component that will do that, has royalty-free licensing and costs less than $1,000?

Nik,

There is open source java code that you can use to do this called FOP at Apache.
http://xml.apache.org/fop/
There is a .NET port called NFOP that I haven't used here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nfop/
