I have been working with PDFCreator which I found on SourceForge. There are some disturbing issues with it ( see Wikipedia ) as they seem to have added malware. It is free but it is an unmanaged ActiveX component. Works fine for creating the pdf but the sparse documention for using it as a COM object means I don't know how to use it synchronously so I can read the resulting PDF into a byte array to store as soon as it is created. ( see my question on Filesystemwatcher )
Anybody have experience with this component?
Anybody have a better suggestion? Doesn't have to be free but the next step seems to be a grand or better. All I need it for is the creation of PDFs programmatically from RTF files either on disk or as a stream.
TIA

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
