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.
