PDF tools for .NET revisited

Seems like tools for PDF creation in .NET is popping up like mushrooms (norwegian expression). Thomas Johansen commented the native way of doing it back in feb. I did a scan in march and looked into NFop. Fabrices SharpToolbox has a growing list. Recently I discovered PdfCreator on gotdotnet written by Serdar Dirican, which is a free, great reporting tool with designer support for VS.NET. This one is a goodie. What it doesn't support although, is xsl transformations, so this must be done in code.

For my current project I'll probably be choosing XMLPDF by Visual Programming because it delivers a nice and clean xml schema to generate pdf. This makes it easy for me to transform my xml documents to their format with a simple xslt. NFop could also be used for this, but it seemed more complex. XMLPDF costs, but not much. Their licencing is per developer.

I'd like to see that component with both xml and object/design-time support. Then I would have to look no more..
