The Best Free PDF Library

Hi All,

I am looking for some recommendations on PDF Libraries.

What I need to do is manipulate a series of PDF files, combine, split, add a water mark and so forth from within a series of functions within VBA (inside of outlook and excel).

I am looking for a solution, preferably in the form of a control and not a command line library.

I do not have access to Acrobat, so no acrobat solutions are acceptable, unless they're free and easy to distribute within our office :-)

Hi Guys thanks for the input - I'll investigate the solutions proposed and will see if someone can point me to a library (OCX, DLL etc) as opposed to a commandline solution (wonder why PDFtk doesnt put a library solution out there) ... I have noted Joe's link to a work around running the commandline solution and I'm willing to give that a go ... pending other input ...

This is one of those questions asking "for some recommendations", so there are no right or wrong answers. Everyone is entitled to make recommendations, so I am selecting all the posts where experts made recommendations of PDF libraries or other helpful comments and am splitting the points evenly. There is no "Best" answer, so I am selecting the first post as the Accepted Solution and all others as Assisted Solutions.
