You have not explained what your problem is, but the following link may help: How to create PDF files in vb.net[^].

Trying to create PDF files without such a library is only for advanced programmers.

My problem is when using an third party dll or source code that written in C# i cant obfuscate my files so i need to write the pdf library in vb.net along with my project. i'm not an advanced programmer but a lover of programming. but still i can do it with small guidance from experts. and so i came here.

Well good luck, but be aware it will take you many years. The PDF reference document runs to somethiong over 700 pages, which you will need to read and understand before you write a single line of code: see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html.

Did you notice that the inquirer also mentioned "without C#" (for ASP.NET!)?
It means, "only for advanced programming", as wall as considerations of time of development, are inapplicable. :-)

Where did that get mentioned, and what does it have to do with my responses?

In the title of the question... :-)
There is nothing wrong with your responses, except one thing: the "question" isn't worth it...

You don't need to convert the library to VB.NET; you just add a reference from your VB.NET project, pointing to the already compiled library. Projects written in one .NET language can use libraries written in any .NET language; they don't have to be written in the same language.

The library is available on NuGet[^], so you can install it using the NuGet Package Manager[^].
