title: what's a good enterprise level pdf generation solution?
body: <p>I'd like to find a replacement for Crystal Reports. Oh how I dislike CR. </p>
  
  <p>Ideally I'd like to find a PDF generation tool that has the following: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Solid API in .NET </li>
  <li>Speed: we'd like to generate 1000-2500 pdfs per day </li>
  <li>WYSIWYG editor</li>
  <li>hotlinking of image files (logos) </li>
  <li>good widow/orphan control</li>
  <li>reasonably good typography control (kerning) </li>
  <li>repeatable fields (like you'd see in a bank statement)</li>
  <li>easy to push data in from xml data, datasets or direct sql queries </li>
  <li>size: final size of the pdf files matters because these will go in a database eventually</li>
  <li>price: free is not always a good price; paying for the right solution is far better than paying developers to build the right solution from an almost-right solution </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The WYSIWYG editor is especially important. I'd prefer to be able to hand a tool to my designer-ish person, have them build the document and place the database fields where they are supposed to be, then hand it back to me so I can link it up to the database.  </p>
  
  <p>Similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2223814/whats-a-good-enterprise-document-generation-solution-sql-server-net">this question, but I felt that question was too vague</a></p>
