Q: I am a software developer and I am looking for a component that
will assist me in generating and printing PDF on both .NET and .NET
Compact framework (printing via Bluetooth), and I was wondering if I
can use PDFNet SDK (http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet) to meed my
requirements.
--------------
A: PDFNet SDK is available as a .NET component as well as a C/C++ &
JAVA component. C/C++ library is available on various platforms
(including Windows Mobile, Windows, Linux, Mac, etc), however .NET
component is available only as part of standard DotNet Framework (at
the moment).
As a workaround you could call C API via PInvoke. For a sample of how
to use pure C API, please see http://groups.google.com/group/pdfnet-sdk/browse_thread/thread/df468ceb94776fff
This way you could print PDF on mobile devices (http://www.pdftron.com/
pdfnet/samplecode.html#PDFPrint), serialize GDI/GDI+ graphics calls to
PDF - (http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/samplecode.html#PDFDC), etc.
