Sounds like you should build your own. It's actually pretty easy once you get your first postscript file put together programmatically and start to understand the Adobe PDF Reference. It takes about 6 months to build a full GDI/GDI+ compatible interface but if you only want text then you can shave off a couple of months since you won't be interested in scraping bitmap information into image resources and the like. PDF Reference 1.7, Sixth Edition[^] (I recommend downloading this reference if your going to view it as it tends to download resources as they are needed if you view it online in the IE window) 1000+ pages Note: Everything you need is in this reference. However, it is very mathematical and not user-friendly at first glance but if you stay your course, it all comes together nicely in a few weeks and you make the most progress (coding-wise) after that. There are not any real support groups unfortunately. Most forums are maintained by people who have built their own products and are trying to get you to give up building your own and use theirs (for a price of course).

Why the reason for this ? You really want to rewrite everything yourself :omg: ?

You forgot to point him to the DOC reference, which is equally easy ;P :-D -Saurabh
