title: Asp.Net MVC how to get view to generate PDF
body: <p>I would like to call an action on a controller.   Have the controller get the data from the model.   The view then runs and generates a PDF.  The only example I have found is in an article by Lou <a href="http://whereslou.com/2009/04/12/returning-pdfs-from-an-aspnet-mvc-action" rel="noreferrer">http://whereslou.com/2009/04/12/returning-pdfs-from-an-aspnet-mvc-action</a>.   His code is very elegant.  The view is using ITextSharp to generate the PDF.    The only downside is his example uses the Spark View Engine.     Is there a way to do a similar thing with the standard Microsoft view engine?   </p>
