I want the code for Print the image in pdf.I am having one image and one "Print" button in my form. When i click on that print then image should print in pdf.
We've used PDFSharp pretty heavily and had pretty good luck with it. I would start there and the documentation should allow you to get to your goal pretty quickly.
I've had good results with the open-source iTextSharp, which can easily add images to PDF files. Here is an article from Mike's DotNetting: iTextSharp - Working With Images

im needing to create a form in my C# project that just allows the user to view the pdf.
i have a way to open the pdf and read it but i need to disable features like printing, saving, highlighting, copy/pasting while maintaining the ability to search in the document
they should really just be able to open the document, read it,search for words in the document, close it
any help would be great
thanks in advanced
You could use Ghostscript to convert PDF to images and then show the images on your form or you could rasterize your PDF directly to the screen.
To use Ghostscript from .NET you can take a look at the Ghostscript.NET library (managed wrapper around the Ghostscript library).
Ghostscript Viewer C# sample that rasterizes PDF directly to the screen can be found here: https://github.com/jhabjan/Ghostscript.NET/tree/master/Ghostscript.NET.Viewer
To search for the text inside the pdf you can use iTextSharp
(Disclaimer I worked on this component at Software Siglo XXI)
If you don't want to mess with Ghostscript API and need a quick working solution to visualise the documents, you could use ImageZoom Viewer .NET. It's available for both 32 and 64 bit and is very cheap and effective. I'd recommend you to try it since it's a very fancy and fast. You can browse, scroll and print the pages from the viewer.
You can take a look here: http://softwaresigloxxi.com/ImageZoom.html
This is for quick browsing and reading. Then, when you want to use text operations, you could let the user to use Adobe Reader, launching the PDF from there.
I want to show a pdf page in the picturebox. Is it possible to do that? if not is there any other way out where i can show the pdf page inside the windows form in visual studio?
Thanks
No. A PictureBox can only display a System.Drawing.Image, which a PDF is not.
Instead, you should be searching for a Winforms PDF viewer.
.NET open PDF in winform without external dependencies
You can do that by using Ghostscript.NET (Ghostscript library wrapper for .NET).
Take a look at this blog: How to use Ghostscript.NET library to render PDF's directly to the screen
You can download Ghostscript.NET from here: https://ghostscriptnet.codeplex.com/
I'm using C# 2005 as a programming platform. I want to have a program reading pdf file and output the content in picturebox properties. Can anyone help me on how could i do this?
You can't render PDF in a PictureBox. Picture boxes are for displaying pictures. So if you want to render a PDF file inside a picture box you will have to first convert it to, well, a picture. There are some commercial products such as ABC PDF that would allow you to do this conversion.
Another possibility is to use the Adobe Reader ActiveX control which you could host in your WinForms application and directly show the PDF file as is.
There are some opensource libraries out there. Choose one of the below:
sharpPDF: http://sharppdf.sourceforge.net/
PDFjet: http://pdfjet.com/os/edition.html
PDF Clown: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clown/
You can get the content of the PDF file using on of these libraries. About showing it on your form etc., I'd suggest examining the samples of these libraries.
I want to crop pdf by given coordinates using c#.
How can I do it? What are API/Libraries I can use? (Doesn't matter commercial or not but I can't spent lot)
PDF4NET has the option to crop pages by manipulating directly the page's CropBox or by extracting the page content and cropping it using a clip region.
Disclaimer: I work for the company that develops PDF4NET.
I don't know if it can do exactly what you want, but PDFsharp is a free and open source library for creating PDF files in .NET. I can recommend it.
iTextSharp http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/ is one that I've used before that I am pretty sure will do what you need. Will find some source code later if I have time.
I'm currently using Aspose PDF Kit to split a 'master PDF' up into individual documents + thumbnails. This works well at the moment, but the device I'll be rendering the PDF on won't know about the annotations/links within the PDF.
I understand there is a way to parse the PDF document to detect the X/Y position of a hyperlink etc, is there an simple way to extract/iterate across the document data so I can write it to an external XML file?
You may want to try Docotic.Pdf library for this (disclaimer: I work for Bit Miracle).
The library can be used to retrieve all hyperlinks in a document. You may retrieve bounding box, text and other properties of a link, too.
Please take a look at "Extract text from link target" sample. It may help you to get started.
