Hi,

I have few PDF files which is available in a Grid. There is a hyperlink on each Row so that it can be downloaded by the users. Before download I need to write some auto-generated numeric document ids (which i had generated at run-time) to the PDF file at top left corner of the first page only and then after the final PDF file will needs to be available to the user.

Do you have any idea how this can be done? If there is any third party control is required then i will prefer for the open source solutions first.

What I have tried:

I had seen few members had suggeted to use Itextsharp, i had tried it but unable to get final objective.

iTextSharp is the best library for what you are trying to do.

Do you have any example of that?

No, but I bet Google does.

My assumption is that iTextsharp is open source, is it correct? I checked in Google and it looks like it is.

Go to the iTextSharp website on SourceForge, where you will find all the information you need.
