[Mono-list] 3rd party dlls - ABCpdf

[Antonello Provenzano]

louaish88 ,

This answer doesn't want to solve your problem: why are you using
ABCpdf from WebSupergoo, when you can use iText#?
I remember when I used to use it under ASP (many moons ago) and it was
one of the crappiest PDF managers ever seen.

Furthermore, ABCpdf is a VB product and you can use it through
Interop, while iText# is a fully managed solution, ported from Java
version some time ago, running under .NET and Mono with no issues.

At your place I'd go for it.

Cheers.
Antonello
