Thanks Paulo. I understand now.

I appreciate the input!

It's not a wrapper, it's more of a static JIT that generates native code to run

I heard good thing about it. You'll have to try yourself to see if it's 
suitable to your needs.

Ok, so it’s almost like a wrapper for my PDF generation code to run on other 
platforms?

You use Monotouch to compile iTextSharp or any other C# library to the device. 
They don't provide any library, just the way to put your library in the device.

Hi Paulo,

So Xamarin > Monotouch provides a PDF library that runs on iOS and Android and 
can be used to generate offline PDFs from a device-side database?

I don’t see anything on their website though…?

This is for generating PDFs in the device, offline. iTextSharp would reside in 
the device.

Thanks Paulo. We already have cross platform apps integrating with back-end 
systems. However we need PDF capabilities offline on the device.

Thare's also http://xamarin.com/monotouch. It's cross platform for iOS, Android 
and Windows devices.

No problem doing that offline. I have seen (custom) solutions offering that 
(working offline) and using the html5/image type solution. In online mode the 
files are transfered to the app and are later accessible/viewable etc.
However you'll need a least a basic native app (frame) though.
If you really are looking for a native IOS lib, PDFTron is the way to go:
http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/mobile/ios_pdf_library.html
However then you also need a different lib for android, blackberry, windows 
phone (...) and all will behave differently.

Thanks Alexis. That’s what I thought.

My challenge is that everything must be do-able offline – i.e. zero internet 
connectivity, so using a web service etc. would cause an issue.

Hi,

Can iText run on iOS? We create cross platform tools and need to create PDF 
reports on tablets/smartphones for Android, Blackberry and iOS.

iText is a Java library. An official C# port (iTextSharp) exists. However, no 
Objective-C port has been endorsed, afaik.
Unless you really need the PDF file to be created offline on the device, you 
could delegate the generation of the file to a web service (that you would 
implement in either Java or C#).
Regards,
alexis
