PDF Graphics .NET 1.1 is an easy-to-use, fast and scalable PDF document creator.

PDF Graphics .NET is an easy-to-use, fast and scalable PDF document creator. Designed to allow developers to create PDF documents as easily as possible, its API closely follows that of the .NET graphics namespace - System.Drawing.

Easy to use - With PDF Graphics .NET, you create PDF documents the way you paint .NET graphics on Windows Forms or printer output. The API closely follows that of the .NET graphics namespace - System.Drawing.

Fast - Creating PDF documents has never been faster - even large documents with embedded fonts render in no time. A sample document with a 100-page table rendered in seconds using PDF Graphics .NET, as opposed to over 10 minutes with a competing product.

Instead of printing to a standard printer, you will just select the Amyuni printer. A file will be generated, which you can then transmit over the Intranet, Internet or view with the Amyuni PDF Creator or the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. PDF Converter is based on Amyuni's internal developments and does not rely on external libraries such as Ghostscript. Licensing and distribution are hassle-free and developers are not required to license any external technology in order to distribute the tools.

Amyuni PDF Converter Developer Pro is also available as part of Amyuni PDF Suite .NET.
