Comprehensive PDF Features

PDF4NET is a .NET library for generating and importing PDF documents on the fly from any .NET application. The library does not rely on any Adobe products for creating and importing PDF files. It hides the complex structure of PDF files behind a simple object model that allows creation of complex PDF files or import of existing PDF files with a few lines of code.

The PDF4NET library can use either a grid based layout approach allowing precise positioning of content on document’s pages or a flow based layout making the generation of complex documents a breeze. The library is written entirely in C#, being 100% managed, and is licensed per developer with ROYALTY FREE distribution.
