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

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.

Scalable - Unlike other PDF creators, PDF Graphics .NET does not store a large model of the document in memory - it is fast-forward, write-only. That means it doesn't matter if your document has one page, ten pages or hundreds - the last page will render as fast as the first.

Creating PDF documents
If you know how to draw shapes and text in .NET, then you will know how to use PDF Graphics .NET. It's that simple. Drawing and filling shapes and paths, drawing text inside bounding boxes (fully justified), or drawing onto stencils to repeat graphics over and over again - it's all included, and works just as you'd expect.

With full support for gradients, stencils, paths, clipping areas, and fully justified and styled text, all the tools you need to craft your pages are included in this one package.

Like the .NET graphics namespace, and unlike competing products, drawing graphics in PDF Graphics .NET is stateless - there is no need to remember your current bounding box, or swap pens and brushes in- and out.

If you have existing PDF pages that you cannot, or don't want to, create programmatically then PDF Graphics .NET lets you insert those into your document at any point.
