.net PDF writer/creator

Question

I have a need to create PDFs from HTML content with specific layouts. I have looked around quite a bit and the only options I could come up with worth any repute are SuperWebGoo and PDFSharp. PDFSharp hasn't been updated in 2 years whereas SuperWebGoo is about 500 dollars per server. SuperWebGoo is pretty promising and I have done a trial of this product and seems suitable for my needs.

I am looking for any open source .NET products to accomplish my goal with samples. Any inputs are appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

Look at iText. It is open source and just might do what you want. As for documentation, Manning has a book called iText in Action (http://www.manning.com/lowagie/)

iText/iTextSharp are not free (as in beer) for commercial applications – Bobrovsky Jun 20 '11 at 14:29
Agreed with Bobrovsky. iTextSharp needs a license. – Gabbar Jun 20 '11 at 14:42
iText/iTextSharp - you must either release all of the source code for your application or purchase a license. – user1166147 May 30 '12 at 01:04
