## Reviews

### "Super fast and easy to use library" — 5.0/5

> **Rashid** | *16 September 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have been using GemBox.Pdf for 3+ years. The library is so good and super easy to use. Online documentation has 100 or more examples, so literally you don't have to do anything to get the work done. Creating PDF documents, content extraction, highlighting, file-format conversion, etc . These are the features I have tested and integrated. I must say migrating from another PDF library to Gembox was a wise decision.
> 
> **Cons**: I am so happy to choose Gembox. I hope the company will keep innovating the product in the future the way it has done in the past.
