« on: January 06, 2013, 07:09:44 pm »
Hi,
Is there a library to open an existing PDF file and edit it? Like Python's Pypdf?
Thanks in advance.

going to open ,read and edit pdf files with .NET codes, the following tutorail that once helped me alot may give you a hand. Im working with C#.
PDF reading in C#
PDF document processing lib
sample codes and guide lines are available here.Hope it is exactly what you need.

regards.
