Hello, i want to write a windows-forms-application in Visual C# that has a fill-in-form which automatically generates a PDF-document out of the made input.

thanks in advance and feel free to ask questions

What I have tried:

i was reading the "Generate PDF Using C#" snippet by lepipele but it is from 2009 and requires openoffice. are there snippets or friendly people who can show how they would do it?

You will need to make use of a PDF library such as iTextSharp, to create the PDF files.
