What is ITextSharp? iTextSharp is a free and open source assembly that helps to convert page output or HTML content in a PDF file. Now add that DLL in the application. Getting Started: Start Visual Studio and create a new website in ASP.Net and add these 2 DLLs to the solution.
Version 5.0.0 and up is licensed under the AGPL (strong copyleft).
Version 4.1.6 and previous are still licensed under the MPL/LGPL (weak copyleft).
So for a commercial product you'll almost certainly want to stick with 4.1.6 or previous.
