Answer 3

Maybe you can try the ReportViewer control.

You can create a "report template", assign data to it in runtime (fill in values), render it, and save the result.

Answer 4

You can use the open-source iTextSharp, which is a port from iText (java). Here is a code sample that creates a form with a text field (it's java but the iTextSharp interface is nearly identical)

Answer 5

I like http://dynamicpdf.com they have a free community edition which allows you to programmatically create PDF's from scratch. The paid products offer much more functionality and they have a designer as well.

Answer 6

You can use Aspose.Pdf.Kit for this purpose. In fact, it can be used either in a ASP.NET or Windows application. You can download the trial version. Have a look at the related documentation; that might be of some help.
