"After struggling with two other dynamic PDF generation products, we are delighted with the rich feature set and ease-of-use that your product, ABCpdf, has brought to our recent project. The other programs couldn't work with the wide range of file formats that ABCpdf so effortlessly allowed us to place and manipulate on the virtual page. The instructions were clearly written, and the output has been compatible with every PDF reader we have tried. Thank you for providing such an elegant and affordable solution."

"Both ImageGlue and ABCpdf are fantastic products. Implementing them is straightforward and the manuals are clear with excellent examples. They are the most comprehensive products we have found for handling images and PDF files within .NET and the support from WebSuperGoo is both timely and terrific. We would highly recommend either of these products to anyone working with images or pdf files in .NET."
