I want to display a pdf file in some viewer control by just defining its path without any need for Adobe Acrobat Reader installation.
Is there any open source controls for this ? (with c#)
Have you looked at this project, which is also on CodeProject? It's C# and uses/wraps an open source C/C++ PDF library.
The code and compiled binary can be downloaded here from Google.
I have not used this control, but it seems to meet your requirements. Hope this helps!
There is a brand new PDF viewer control for Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform in C# at http://www.github.com/Swifter/FlipPdfViewer
QuickPDF (www.quickpdf.com) has DARenderPageToDC() and RenderPageToFile() functions that could do the job for you. It is a reasonably price commercial library and is royalty free.
It is very simple to use in C#.
Also, Need PDF viewer control - tried a lot has a list of PDF viewers that could also do the job. A commercial library is going to be able to process more complex PDF's if required such as CJK fonts, newer PDF versions, TYPE 1 fonts etc...

I am working on PDF form filler using c# code and iText library, but now the problem is iText library is no more an open source library. We need to buy license of AGPL. So I am looking for open source pdf form filler. Thank you in advance.
I think you got something wrong there.
The AGPL license is still an open source license and is there to prevent the so called "application service provider loophole". As far as I understand, if you e.g. host software that is licensed under the GPL/that uses or modifies software licensed under the GPL you don't have to give out your source code. The AGPL prevents this.
Depending on what you want to do with your software you might aswell use iText.
But before doing so try to read up on the AGPL in order to prevent any legal mistakes.
The AGPL FAQ might be a good place to start.

At the moment I need a text control that i can integrate in a ASP.NET MVC. TX TextControl can cover most of the requirements I need, but it is not very customizable. I am looking in to Office API, Office js and Office 365. And i was wondering if you have any suggestion how that can be done, if it can be done at all.
The closest I have found is TX TextControl.
I need a text control where i can create templates, add header and footer to the templates, input data from database, and in general that has MS Word specific capabilities.
If you have any other suggestions, besides TX TextControl or Office API.
I am open to suggestions and ideas.
Office's JavaScript API provides endpoints for extending Office applications (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.). It does not support embedding Office apps into 3rd party solutions. In other words, you can augments the editing experience in Word but you cannot leverage Word as an editing control within your own app.

Is there an easy way to export RDLC report to .pptx? For now I find only one way - export it to .docx, and then convert it to .pptx, but I did not find any information how to implement this conversion in code. Any ideas? I know about Aspose converters, but they are too expensive for me, maybe there is another way to do this?
So the easy way was not found. My solution was like that :
Create a template .pptx file.
Write some code to open that template
file and replace template text/images using Open XML Power
Tools
This article helped me a lot.
Syncfusion Report Viewer and Report Writer can be used to export RDLC to PPTX.
Example code
The whole suite of controls is available for free (commercial applications also) through the community license program if you qualify. The community license is the full product with no limitations or watermarks.
Note: I work for Syncfusion.

I was trying to display a PDF file. After long research in google, stack, and msdn, I found few options. Libs from Adobe was first hit, but unsuccessful.
Link to album with properties, events and code.
None of the functions and properties from answers were found here. I added .COM control to toolbox, put in Form, and added "usings". As in pictures.
And here I have few questions to this topic:
1. What did I wrong, that this hasn't got their functions?
2. Can I use this libs in commercial program?
3. Does user must have install Adobe Reader to run my program?
Later on I found another clearly commercial libs, but I can't afford their license.
Last one was "PDFSharp", but I can't understand where to put code from this sample.
If someone could recommend a lib, or program which is:
Independent (I would like not force to instal Adobe Reader, for example).
Display PDF.
Move through PDF pages (scroll bars, and change index of actual page).
And actually that's all. Even simple conversion from PDF to ImageBox would be enough.
Thank You all in advance for all help.
(and 2) It can be related to the latest changes in Adobe Reader COM objects that broke Adobe Reader controls on Windows x64. The solution is to use WebBrowser control instead (and expect that it will call PDF plugin) OR to compile your application targeted x86 instead of AnyCPU.
If you rely on Adobe PDF pluggin then yes, user should have Adobe Reader installed and must explicitly permit PDF plugin in Internet Explorer.

I need to convert a pdf file to a jpeg page-by-page images.
The reason I need to do this is, I'm creating a dynamic page flip on a asp.net website. I'm currently using MegaZine pageflip engine, wich loads jpeg files and makes a flip book. All I need to do now, is convert the pdf file to a bunch of jpegs, so that when the user clicks "upload pdf and make pageflip", the code behind does all the work.
So is there a (free) library I can use to do this?
I've been googleing for some time, but could not find anything good. Maybe you guys know something.
Thanks for the anwser in advance!!!

Have you thought about using MagickNet? It's the .NET interface to ImageMagick, which is the go-to lib for this kind of task.
I would recommend using either PDF2Image, PDF2Cairo or MUPDF to do this. Here's a link to PDF2Image:
