## What it is
PDFsharp is a .NET library for creating, modifying, and processing PDF documents programmatically, written in C#. It is often paired with MigraDoc for generating documents from higher-level layout descriptions.

## Use cases
- generate pdf documents from .net code
- merge and split pdf files
- extract text from pdfs
- create pdf reports in c#
- modify existing pdf documents

## When to choose
- you need a free MIT-licensed PDF library for .NET
- you want to create or manipulate PDFs without external dependencies
- you need MigraDoc-style document generation

## When to avoid
- you need advanced PDF features like forms or digital signatures
- you require Medium Trust environments without source modifications
- you need a library with frequent updates and active development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: pdf, parser, graphics
- domain: pdf, files, developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, windows, cross-platform
- tags: pdf-generation, pdf-manipulation, csharp, migradoc, gdi
