PDF4NET updated to V4.1

PDF4NET is a .NET library for creating, editing and filling PDF files on the fly from any .NET application. The library provides a simple API that allows you to create complex PDF documents, or to edit existing PDF files with a few lines of code. Its core functionality can be divided into 3 main areas: PDF creation, PDF editing and PDF forms filling. The library provides support for both standard .NET framework and Compact .NET framework. Project costs are reduced when developing with PDF4NET because it can be distributed royalty free.

The following editions are available:

• PDF4NET
• PDF4NET Subscriptions
