Introduction
PDFKit.NET is a 100% managed .NET component for, reading, creating and
manipulating PDF documents and PDF forms on the fly. With PDFKit.NET you can
split, append, stamp, encrypt PDF documents and fill PDF forms. This component
is typically deployed as part of an ASP.NET or WinForms application, however, it
is just as well possible to integrate PDFKit.NET in a .NET web service.
Central to PDFKit.NET is a consistent and highly intuitive object model
consisting of classes like Pages, Page, Overlay, Underlay, Shapes and Fields.
The focus of our development team is always to ease the task of integrating our
components in a larger application.
Fill PDF forms
All form fields of a PDF form can be accessed through the object model of
PDFKit.NET. You can enumerate the fields either at document or at page level.
You can index fields either by ordinal or by name.
A field is represented by the Field class. You can query the field for its
type (text box, radio button, etc), its position and size and various attributes
such as 'multiline' and 'read-only'. If a field represents a selection control
such as a combo box or radio button group, you can also enumerate the options.
Finally you can fill a form field by setting its Value property and flatten it
by setting the Flatten property.

Stamp PDF documents
PDFKit.NET allows you to open an existing PDF document and retrieve each page
by index. You can also create a new PDF document and add new blank pages.
A page is represented by the Page class. This class exposes 2 layers: an
overlay and an underlay. You can draw on each of these layers by adding shapes
to it. PDFKit.NET provides a large set of primitive shapes such as Line, Pie,
Rectangle, Text (single- and multiline) and raster images (BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG and TIFF).
Each shape can be located anywhere on the page, rotated by any angle and scaled.

Split and assemble PDF documents
You can collect pages from different source documents and assembly them in a single new document.
You can translate, rotate and scale pages.
