iText Core/Community (previously known as iTextSharp) is a high-performance, battle-tested library that allows you to create, adapt, inspect, and maintain PDF documents, allowing you to add PDF functionality to your software projects with ease. It is also available for Java. For more advanced examples, refer to our Knowledge Base or the main Examples repo. You can find C# equivalents to the Java Signing examples here, though the Java code is very similar since they have the same API. Some of the output PDF files will be incorrectly displayed by the GitHub previewer, so be sure to download them to see the correct results. The iText Suite builds on over a decade of lessons learned from iText 5 (and iTextSharp) development. The latest release of iText, version 8, is a simpler, more performant and extensible library that is ready to handle the increased challenges of today's document workflows, one add-on at a time.
