What is PDFsharp?
PDFsharp is a .NET library for creating and processing PDF documents 'on the fly'.The library is completely written in C# and based exclusively on safe, managed code.
PDFsharp offers two powerful abstraction levels to create and process PDF documents.
For drawing text, graphics, and images there is a set of classes which are modeled similar to the classes
of the name space System.Drawing of the .NET framework. With these classes it is not only possible to create
the content of PDF pages in an easy way, but they can also be used to draw in a window or on a printer.
Additionally PDFsharp completely models the structure elements PDF is based on. With them existing PDF documents
can be modified, merged, or split with ease.
The source code of PDFsharp is Open Source under the MIT license (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License).
Therefore it is possible to use PDFsharp without problems in non open source or commercial projects/products.
PDFsharp includes MigraDoc Lite which brings you all the high-level functionality not included in PDFsharp.
PDFsharp has many features, and we hope to add more!
PDFsharp is an Open Source library written in C# that allows you to easily create 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.
With PDFsharp you can create new PDF documents with text, lines, curves, images, etc.
With PDFsharp you can modify, merge, and split existing PDF files or incorporate pages from existing PDF files into new PDF documents!
With MigraDoc Lite you easily create documents without dealing with line breaks or page breaks - MigraDoc Lite does that for you!
