PDF library recommendations
-
I know this gets asked a lot. But, I'm going to ask it. I want a PDF library to do three things 1 - embed a PDF viewer for PDFs that are text and images 2 - print PDFs from within our program 3 - provide PDF editing functionality. The two possibilities are a - full PDF editing or b - adding a logo to the PDFs at the bottom If there's a huge price gap between a and b, we may choose b. Otherwise, a is preferable. The other criteria is that I want no per seat licensing. That's the kicker. We use Atalasoft imaging SDKs and they have been really good, and their support is top notch, so I'd prefer to stick with them, but their PDF stuff has a per seat, and I don't want the hassle.

(Disclaimer I worked on this component at Software Siglo XXI) Although one unique solution would be optimal, you could use a mix of components, so you get the best of the bread in each category. For 1 & 2 you could use ImageZoom Viewer for .NET (and possibly Super Pdf2Image Converter). It's available for both 32 and 64 bit and is very cheap and effective. I'd recommend you to try it.
