I will have to research on it, i think time to list the best available
libs, and finding all's dependency.

iTextSharp look very promising. But i am unable to find any good
documentation. I think i will have to buy the book, so that I can have
API docs just beside me for reference.
One thing I am stuck at right now. the IronPython 1.0.2467 on .NET
2.0.50727.42 is installed on my Ubuntu, so does CPython 2.5 libraries
can be called in it without any problem.
In ipy shell,
>>> sys.path
['/home/rskumar', '/usr/lib/ironpython/Lib', '/usr/lib/python2.4',
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages']
>>>
so it uses Python 2.4 libs. I am fearing to mix the 2.4 and 2.5 libs.
I need to load CPython 2.5 libs by adding it in site.py file of
ironpython. Maybe I should go experimenting and let you people know
about it.
