Yes I have. The version available at the link you provided does not support multiple pages, I've tried to update it to use the current version 5.68 which looks like it does, but for some reason it fails.

Have considered buying their full package but there isn't anyway get with the people who sell PDFJet, I am surely not going to pay them $268 and not be able to get any tech support (should any be needed).

Thanks Bob

PS: I am not writing a lot of information (just generating brackets)

I'm not too familiar with PDFJet, but i'm pretty sure it supports multiple pages.

Yes I believe the full version does, but if you read the thread you will see the open source version doesn't

Ah, i missed that part, well i made a wrapper for a client of mine, but i used iTextSharp, which is also available for Java and .Net, there's a free version and a paid version of the library, you can check it out here http://itextpdf.com/, i've been meaning to wrap the open source version but have been pretty busy, this one not only creates pdf files but it can also fill out pdf forms known as acroforms and can merge created pdf files as well, hopefully i'll get some free time one day so i can work on it.

Yes, I came across that. Hard to locate the open source version any more. If you ever release it please let me know. I have been trying PDFWriter which is OK, but maybe it is because I am 65, but I have so much trouble thinking of writing to the page from the bottom up instead of the top down.

Another idea: What about creating it on your own (if the layout is not too complicated)...

DonManfred: I had read this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17940631/is-itext-5-4-2-open-source
When I said the Open Source was not readily available. You have to go back to some older version before they changed the license


Anyway, I just sat down and got what I needed done using PDFWriter. Doesn't have some nice stuff like a text box for having text wrapped but I can draw rectangles and fill them in with data.
