    Working with iTextSharp


    (Page 1 of 4 )

    In the conclusion to our series on working with code libraries, you will learn how to create PDFs with iTextSharp. This article is excerpted from chapter four of the book Windows Developer Power Tools, written by James Avery and Jim Holmes (O'Reilly; ISBN: 0596527543). Copyright © 2006 O'Reilly Media, Inc.

    4.12 Creating PDFs with iTextSharp

    Adobe’s PDF format is one of the most widely accepted document formats in use today. Most users and clients expect that the software you write will be able to generate and work with PDFs. Unfortunately, however, Adobe does not offer a free SDK that you can download and use; you have to pay to license the API, and a fair amount of work is usually required to get it up and running.

    iTextSharp alleviates this problem. iTextSharp is a port of the iText Java PDF library that gives you the ability to add PDF functionality to your applications. Using iTextSharp, you can create and read PDF files without any costs or proprietary software, so you can deliver the functionality your users expect.
