I need to create a simple slide with text and pictures. This will be done from a .Net 4.0 application. I'm open to various formats. I could target PDF, XPS, or PowerPoint for example. My highest priority is that I can get up and running quickly. What API's can you recommend?
Note, I am entirely unconcerned with document or vendor preferences. All users will have PowerPoint, Adobe Reader, or an XPS viewer available. If the MS Office API's are easy, I will just use those...same goes for any other format. I'm just having difficulty getting solid answers with my searches. I'm seeing references to VSTO, Office Interop, and XPS document API's. None have looked particularly pleasant to use with my basic searches. I'd also be interested in good PDF or Open Office XML (MS' new format for Office) libraries for example.
