From the comparison table, the products are good, even the iTextSharp is more powerful, e.g. iTextSharpt support more Crypto ways.
But after reviewing the code, I think the PDFSharp is more suitable for general .NET application.
- It is simple, so that it is easy to learn and use.
- It is native with C#, not port from Java library, so the design is more understandable.
