   It appears there is nothing you can't do with PDFs with the QuickPDF Library. I think its the best library out there for PDFs. However I am looking for a software package that allows a user to design PDF files/forms from scratch. This would need to include adding text, fields, graphics, etc. It would need to allow the designer the ability to choose if the form is letter or legal and should support as many pages as needed. Usually never more than 4 - 6 pages. It must be able to save the file as a standard PDF and allow the user to reopen the PDF in the designer and continue making changes as desired.  Before you ask, why not just use Adobe Acrobat, what I am looking for is a tool that I could include in software that I have already written. So as a developer I want to purchase a license but not have to pay any runtime royalties when included with my software. Would be awesome if it was a COM object or something similar to give me (the developer) some control over it. Basically the same as we do for the QPDF library. Does anyone know of anything out there that offers this ability. I think this would be the natural next step for Debenu to develop and offer. It just seems like a natural fit for them since they already have the back-end ability. All they need to do is develop a user interface.

Any suggestions for an existing product?

Thanks

Wayne
