I have a windows form project written in vb.net. It needs to take
multiple images (JPGs) and convert them into one PDF on-the-fly. I am
looking for a good library (not a command-line utility) with which to
do this. Anyone have a vote for their favorite?

Hi,
I recommend you PDFLib (www.pdflib.com). It supports many programming
platforms, .NET as well. You can download evaluation version and try
it. Really good product.

PDFLib is pretty expensive for my particular application. I'm looking
for something a little more light-weight and less costly. Any other
suggestions?

Look at iTextSharp. This is the net port of iText.

I used to create pdf's with FOP, but iText is MUCH easier and faster. The
ng support by the creators is excellent.

When I first started it took about a day to get up and running, but for your
needs probably less.

I would recommend to buy the book "iText in Action" by Bruno Lowagie, the
creator of iText. It is an excellent source of samples and information even
though they are in java.
