Can anyone suggest a PDF API?

Hi All,

I need to take an existing pdf, put a watermark on it, and restrict further
saving, editing, and printing. Any suggestions on an api that might get me
as close to that desired featureset as possible?

I grabbed iTextSharp, but couldn't get the tutorial to compile, looks like
they removed their support for watermarks, etc..

Thanks in advanace!

Derrick,

Just doing a search on google for "pdf .NET" came up with a number of
components which will allow you to work with PDFs.

Or do none of them work?

Hi Nicholas,

I see a bunch of them, tried iTextSharp, just wondering if there is one out
there anyone has used with success.

I don't see anything about restricting print/save in any of them, but this
is the first day I'm looking around, could be that I just haven't stumbled
onto that section of the doc yet.

Thanks,

Derrick

You can also check out PDFBOX . It was originally for java, but they
have a dot net version available on the site. I have used it for some
bookmarks manipulation previously (from dot net)
I just did a search for watermark on the site, and i think thats
supported.

Hello, Here is an idea I've been toying with to speed up programs but still keep them portable. It's just a very handwavey rough description right now since I haven't worked out details.

Rather, they would be typecast as strings and those strings would be examined by the program. In otherwords, the...

I'm using PHP 5 on Win-98 command line (ie no web server involved) I'm processing a large csv file and when I loop through it I can process around 275 records per second. However at around 6,000 records this suddenly drops off to around 40 records per second. This is a big problem as the "live" list is over 4 million records long. I'd break it up but this is to be a regular test so that would be messy

Decompilation is the process of recovering human readable source code from a program executable. Many decompilers exist for Java and .NET as the program executables (class files) maintain much of the information found in the source code. This is not true for machine code executables however. In recent years decompilation for machine code has moved from the domain of crackpots and academic hopefuls to a number of real technologies that...
