Key Feature Comparison with Code Examples: IronPDF vs. EO.Pdf

In this section, we will be taking a look at some common PDF-related tasks and how IronPDF and EO.Pdf handle these use cases.

HTML to PDF Conversion

IronPDF Example:

using IronPdf;

// Enable web security features such as disabling local disk access or cross-origin requests
Installation.EnableWebSecurity = true;

// Instantiate Renderer
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();

// Create a PDF from an HTML string using C#
var pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>Hello World</h1>");
pdf.SaveAs("output.pdf");

// Advanced Example with HTML Assets
var myAdvancedPdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<img src='icons/iron.png'>", @"C:\site\assets\");
myAdvancedPdf.SaveAs("html-with-assets.pdf");
using IronPdf;

// Enable web security features such as disabling local disk access or cross-origin requests
Installation.EnableWebSecurity = true;

// Instantiate Renderer
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();

// Create a PDF from an HTML string using C#
var pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>Hello World</h1>");
pdf.SaveAs("output.pdf");

// Advanced Example with HTML Assets
var myAdvancedPdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<img src='icons/iron.png'>", @"C:\site\assets\");
myAdvancedPdf.SaveAs("html-with-assets.pdf");
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

EO.Pdf Example:

HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml("<h1>Hello World</h1>", "output.pdf");
HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml("<h1>Hello World</h1>", "output.pdf");
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

As you can see in the above code, IronPDF's HTML-to-PDF converter gives you a powerful method of creating PDF files from HTML content in just a few lines of code. With strong support for modern web standards, you are sure to get pixel-perfect PDF documents from your web application or web pages each time. EO.Pdf requires just a single line of code to convert HTML content to PDF, which makes it quick and easy to implement.

Encrypting PDF Files

IronPDF Example:

using IronPdf;
using System;

// Open an Encrypted File, alternatively create a new PDF from Html
var pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("encrypted.pdf", "password");

// Edit file metadata
pdf.MetaData.Author = "Satoshi Nakamoto";
pdf.MetaData.Keywords = "SEO, Friendly";
pdf.MetaData.ModifiedDate = DateTime.Now;

// Edit file security settings
pdf.SecuritySettings.RemovePasswordsAndEncryption();
pdf.SecuritySettings.MakePdfDocumentReadOnly("secret-key");
pdf.SecuritySettings.AllowUserAnnotations = false;
pdf.SecuritySettings.AllowUserCopyPasteContent = false;
pdf.SecuritySettings.AllowUserFormData = false;
pdf.SecuritySettings.AllowUserPrinting = IronPdf.Security.PdfPrintSecurity.FullPrintRights;

// Change or set the document encryption password
pdf.Password = "my-password";
pdf.SaveAs("secured.pdf");
using IronPdf;
using System;

// Open an Encrypted File, alternatively create a new PDF from Html
var pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("encrypted.pdf", "password");

// Edit file metadata
pdf.MetaData.Author = "Satoshi Nakamoto";
pdf.MetaData.Keywords = "SEO, Friendly";
pdf.MetaData.ModifiedDate = DateTime.Now;

// Edit file security settings
pdf.SecuritySettings.RemovePasswordsAndEncryption();
pdf.SecuritySettings.MakePdfDocumentReadOnly("secret-key");
pdf.SecuritySettings.AllowUserAnnotations = false;
pdf.SecuritySettings.AllowUserCopyPasteContent = false;
pdf.SecuritySettings.AllowUserFormData = false;
pdf.SecuritySettings.AllowUserPrinting = IronPdf.Security.PdfPrintSecurity.FullPrintRights;

// Change or set the document encryption password
pdf.Password = "my-password";
pdf.SaveAs("secured.pdf");
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

EO.Pdf Example:

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
doc.Security.UserPassword = "user";
doc.Security.OwnerPassword = "owner";
doc.Save("encrypted.pdf");
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
doc.Security.UserPassword = "user";
doc.Security.OwnerPassword = "owner";
doc.Save("encrypted.pdf");
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

While IronPDF's encryption process requires more lines of code, it provides a powerful encryption tool that can secure your PDF file, and gives you full control over the process with a range of options to fully customize the encryption task. EO.Pdf provides a short, simple-to-implement encryption tool, but lacks the level of control that IronPDF offers.

Redacting PDF Content

IronPDF Example:

using IronPdf;

PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("novel.pdf");

// Redact 'are' phrase from all pages
pdf.RedactTextOnAllPages("are");
pdf.SaveAs("redacted.pdf");
using IronPdf;

PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("novel.pdf");

// Redact 'are' phrase from all pages
pdf.RedactTextOnAllPages("are");
pdf.SaveAs("redacted.pdf");
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

EO.Pdf: Not natively supported.

IronPDF provides a built-in redaction tool capable of redacting specified content from your PDF within just a few lines of code. EO.Pdf, however, offers no such feature, so you would need to look at installing additional libraries to carry out PDF redaction.

Digitally Signing PDFs

IronPDF Example:

using IronPdf.Signing;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;

ChromePdfRenderer renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
PdfDocument pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>foo</h1>");

// Create X509Certificate2 object with X509KeyStorageFlags set to Exportable
X509Certificate2 cert = new X509Certificate2("IronSoftware.pfx", "123456", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);

// Create PdfSignature object
var sig = new PdfSignature(cert);

// Sign PDF document
pdf.Sign(sig);
pdf.SaveAs("signed.pdf");
using IronPdf.Signing;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;

ChromePdfRenderer renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
PdfDocument pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>foo</h1>");

// Create X509Certificate2 object with X509KeyStorageFlags set to Exportable
X509Certificate2 cert = new X509Certificate2("IronSoftware.pfx", "123456", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);

// Create PdfSignature object
var sig = new PdfSignature(cert);

// Sign PDF document
pdf.Sign(sig);
pdf.SaveAs("signed.pdf");
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

EO.Pdf:

// Create a PdfSigner object
PdfSigner signer = new PdfSigner(your_x509_certificate);

// Sign the PDF file
signer.Sign(pdf_file_name);
// Create a PdfSigner object
PdfSigner signer = new PdfSigner(your_x509_certificate);

// Sign the PDF file
signer.Sign(pdf_file_name);
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

With IronPDF, you can securely sign any PDF file with ease. Its PDF signing tool gives you full control over the process while keeping the method short and straightforward to implement. EO.Pdf's signing process is straightforward to use and takes very few lines of code to get working.

Applying Custom Watermarks

IronPDF Example:

using IronPdf;

// Stamps a Watermark onto a new or existing PDF
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
var pdf = renderer.RenderUrlAsPdf("https://www.nuget.org/packages/IronPdf/");
pdf.ApplyWatermark("<h2 style='color:red'>SAMPLE</h2>", 30, IronPdf.Editing.VerticalAlignment.Middle, IronPdf.Editing.HorizontalAlignment.Center);
pdf.SaveAs(@"C:\Path\To\Watermarked.pdf");
using IronPdf;

// Stamps a Watermark onto a new or existing PDF
var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
var pdf = renderer.RenderUrlAsPdf("https://www.nuget.org/packages/IronPdf/");
pdf.ApplyWatermark("<h2 style='color:red'>SAMPLE</h2>", 30, IronPdf.Editing.VerticalAlignment.Middle, IronPdf.Editing.HorizontalAlignment.Center);
pdf.SaveAs(@"C:\Path\To\Watermarked.pdf");
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

EO.Pdf: Lacks native support for watermarking.

With an approach similar to HTML/CSS, IronPDF's watermarking tool is easy to use and makes applying your custom watermarks to PDF files a breeze. EO.Pdf lacks any native support for watermarking, though, so external libraries will be required to carry out this task.

Stamping Text and Images onto PDF Documents

IronPDF Example:

Text stamper:

using IronPdf;
using IronPdf.Editing;

ChromePdfRenderer renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
PdfDocument pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>Example HTML Document!</h1>");

// Create text stamper
TextStamper textStamper = new TextStamper()
{
    Text = "Text Stamper!",
    FontFamily = "Bungee Spice",
    UseGoogleFont = true,
    FontSize = 30,
    IsBold = true,
    IsItalic = true,
    VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top,
};

// Stamp the text stamper
pdf.ApplyStamp(textStamper);
pdf.SaveAs("stampText.pdf");
using IronPdf;
using IronPdf.Editing;

ChromePdfRenderer renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
PdfDocument pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>Example HTML Document!</h1>");

// Create text stamper
TextStamper textStamper = new TextStamper()
{
    Text = "Text Stamper!",
    FontFamily = "Bungee Spice",
    UseGoogleFont = true,
    FontSize = 30,
    IsBold = true,
    IsItalic = true,
    VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top,
};

// Stamp the text stamper
pdf.ApplyStamp(textStamper);
pdf.SaveAs("stampText.pdf");
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

Image stamper:

using IronPdf;
using IronPdf.Editing;
using System;

ChromePdfRenderer renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();

PdfDocument pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>Example HTML Document!</h1>");

// Create image stamper
ImageStamper imageStamper = new ImageStamper(new Uri("https://ironpdf.com/img/svgs/iron-pdf-logo.svg"))
{
    VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top,
};

// Stamp the image stamper
pdf.ApplyStamp(imageStamper, 0);
pdf.SaveAs("stampImage.pdf");
using IronPdf;
using IronPdf.Editing;
using System;

ChromePdfRenderer renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();

PdfDocument pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>Example HTML Document!</h1>");

// Create image stamper
ImageStamper imageStamper = new ImageStamper(new Uri("https://ironpdf.com/img/svgs/iron-pdf-logo.svg"))
{
    VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top,
};

// Stamp the image stamper
pdf.ApplyStamp(imageStamper, 0);
pdf.SaveAs("stampImage.pdf");
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

EO.Pdf: Does not support advanced stamping options.

Stamping Text and Images onto your PDF files has never been easier thanks to IronPDF's powerful, yet easy-to-use image and text stamping tools. If you're familiar with HTML and CSS, then these tools are even easier to use thanks to their similar approach to CSS when applying the stamp to the PDF.

If you're looking to apply text and image stamps to your PDFs and use EO.Pdf, you'll need to look into installing separate libraries as EO.Pdf does not offer any support for this process.

Bootstrap Performance Dashboard

Modern PDF libraries must demonstrate their capabilities through measurable performance metrics. This Bootstrap 5 dashboard example shows how IronPDF can render complex layouts with real-time data visualization components.

DOCX to PDF Conversion

IronPDF Example:

using IronPdf;

// Instantiate Renderer
DocxToPdfRenderer renderer = new DocxToPdfRenderer();

// Render from DOCX file
PdfDocument pdf = renderer.RenderDocxAsPdf("Modern-chronological-resume.docx");

// Save the PDF
pdf.SaveAs("pdfFromDocx.pdf");
using IronPdf;

// Instantiate Renderer
DocxToPdfRenderer renderer = new DocxToPdfRenderer();

// Render from DOCX file
PdfDocument pdf = renderer.RenderDocxAsPdf("Modern-chronological-resume.docx");

// Save the PDF
pdf.SaveAs("pdfFromDocx.pdf");
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

EO.Pdf: Requires additional tools to handle DOCX to PDF conversion.

IronPDF simplifies DOCX to PDF conversion directly in .NET environments with its powerful DOCX to PDF tool, while taking only a few lines of code and saving you time and effort. EO.Pdf, on the other hand, doesn't contain any built-in tool for DOCX to PDF conversion, so you will need to turn to external libraries for this.
