[Mono-dev] Mono and ole32.dll

[Quandary]

Just wanted to write that myself.
Here a tutorial:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/FillFormFieldsOfPDFs.aspx

But I wanted to add a warning: iTextSharp's license has changed from
LGPL to AGPL...

Either use an old version of iTextSharp (LGPL), or use PDFsharp, which
is LGPL.
PDFsharp is however not that complete as iTextSharp, and the
documentation is worse.

If you use the latest iTextSharp and want to remain closed-source, you
need to buy a license, unfortunately...
However, if you develop FOSS, you needn't worry about that, as long as
you comply with he AGPL.
