Does anyone know of a good, free library for C# that can be used to generate PDF files? I am making an electronic forms application for my work which uses ASP.Net 2.0 and XML / XSLT. Basically, I would like my users to be able to save the forms as PDF files and be able to print them off too.

You can generate a latex file using c# and then call the necessary executables (from c#) to generate the pdf document. This way you can generate complex professional looking documents but some latex distribution must be available on the target PC. This method works well for me, but if you need to distribute you application it may be not a good solution.

Hmmm... First hit on Google says Open Source PDF Libraries in C#. Who'd have though ;-)

The link does not work for me but I found this library:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libharu/
It comes with a c# wrapper.

EDIT:
The link works now!

OK, cheers guys. I was hoping that someone might respond extolling the virtues of library X over library Y but it looks like i'll have to try a few differents ones as suggested by the Google oracle :-P
