Hi GOPI, Adobe PDF library is not publicly available like other libraries. Check out this text taken from availability section of given link. "The Adobe PDF Library SDK is available from Adobe through a license agreement to OEMs, ISV integrators, and enterprise IT developers on a case-by-case basis. The first step in the licensing the Adobe PDF Library is to fill out the information request form (PDF, 45K). The Adobe PDF Library is also available through select partners, including EAST in Japan, TechSoft for 3D and Engineering-focused software companies, and Datalogics elsewhere. Existing Adobe PDF Library customers can contact their Adobe Sales Point of contact to get access to PDF Library." Please let me know for any other doubt.

Thanks for the response Atul Kumar andAvikshith Aradhya, As you guys said, we can use iTextSharp and few more DLLs likeSelectPdf,PDFsharp,PDFNet to create PDF files in C#. But before looking into those DLLs, we are trying to use Adobe PDF Library SDK( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/library.html) as we know PDF belongs to Adobe. Could you please share me information related to create PDF using Adobe PDF Library SDK?

Using iTextSharp dll you can implement it.

As Atul mentioned, Adobe PDF SDK is not directly available and you need to contact their support for such information. Keep in mind that there are other SDKs that support creating and viewing PDF. For me I am using leadtools.

You can use Spire.PDF or iTextSharp, both of them are independent libraries, you do not need to install Adobe.
