Hello all.
I need help to develop in C#, a solution that allows me to read a data of .csv and edit / write in squares of PDF forms, then print already filled, then send paper to the guest house to sign the document.
I'am single IT in a call center company. Agents complete a script, then download the .csv, to be read by an application and generate PDFs with the data filled in the squares of each document field.
Today is day 13-Mar-2016 and will have to have the program made 24-Mar-2016.
Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for this important help.

What I have tried:

I've tried the free iTextSharp.dll, but can not find how to write in squares.

You need to study the iTextSharp documentation, this is not a simple few lines of code, or something you can learn in a few hours.

I have used the sharpPDF C# library, which is quite simple and the source code is available too (but other libraries might be better), for an example see: sharpPDF SITE[^]

Drawing text in a rectangle object directly is not possible, but it should be possible to do what you want using a table object with only one row and column and then fill it with a paragraph object.

Note that placement in the x,y axis is confusing, the y position starts counting from the bottom.
