Spire.PDF for .NET is a PDF document creation component that enables your .NET applications to read, write and manipulate PDF documents without using Adobe Acrobat. It does not use any external libraries and is built from scratch in C#. It can be used on the server-side (ASP.NET or any other environment) or with Windows Forms applications.
The usage is common for all the environments except for the part where the created document is saved to the disk or stream in case of Windows Forms applications, and streamed to the client browser in the case of ASP.NET applications.
