Completely free PDF .NET library written in C#

Tuesday, 8 January 2008 05:48 by dmitriy

Sometimes ago, I was looking for PDF library. Most of .net PDF libraries cost about $400-$800 and really good products. But my project budget was very-very small. And I start to think about own PDF library... Thank God, I have not had time to begin. And found this library. It was about 0.8 version. It's amazing! Works very good, and completely managed. Right now we have 1.0 Release. Why it is so good ? PDFsharp is the Open Source library that easily creates PDF documents from any .NET language.
The same drawing routines can be used to create PDF documents, draw on the screen, or send output to any printer.

First look at license you can found at pdfsharp.com :

PDFsharp is Open Source.
You can copy, modify and integrate the source code of PDFsharp in your application without restrictions at all. .... and so on

I just want to vote for this project. I've it used for quite complicated project, and no bug was found in this library. Thanks to PDFSharp team.

What is bad? No help files... But if you are smart you understood it. If need help, you can ask me, and maybe we can make a deal.

That's great news. And hopefully it contains all or atleast most of the functions present in the FPDF library.

This is a great find and should prove to be useful in some of my future programming.

cool mate, thanks for the head up. I have used the componentone pdf component in a project a while ago, but didn't renew the subscription so this looks promising as an replacement.

Although it seems good when create/write, it's very slow when parser.
