How to add and verify digital signature to PDF in dot net framework 2.0

I get the task to add a digital signature on any PDF file. After hours of googling, I found that there are few libraries that help me to achieve this task easily. (We have our application on dot ent 2.0)
Below I am listing all the libraries I have found
iTextSharp -- This is too costly to purchase.
PDFSharp -- finds only articles but no code to achieve it.
SelectPDF -- this adds its own watermark in the pdf.
AsposePDF -- this adds its own watermark in the pdf.
SpirePDF -- it is working on dot net 4.0 or above
My question is -
Is there a free library are there to help me with dot net 2.0?
If not free then it should not cost more than $100 a year.
Is there any way to achieve this without the help of libraries?

Choosing btw Scrapy V1.8 and V2.0

Hi I have wanted to learn Scrapy and use it to scrape dynamic data off of webpages, and use it in a website backend.
When I went to the official docs, I go to know that V.2.0 just came out.
Given that I'm new to scrappy, and plan to develop an autonomous hosted application, I was wondering whether I should choose v 1.8 over v 2.0 because bugs would've been worked out better and there'll be more tutorials etc. But on the other hand, I'll end up learning 2.0 anyway in the future, so maybe I should start with 2.0 itself.
So I have two questions:
Are there any major changes from v1.8 to v.2.0 (I am aware that there are release notes that accompany each version, but the only thing that I can really understand is that Python 2 support was removed; everything else uses terminology that I don't understand.)
I'd be grateful for your advice on which one I should opt for.
I have worked with Selenium & BeatifulSoup4 on 1 project before hand, which involved scraping stock price and relative strength index, and using that as a part of Flask backed web app.
Always use the latest Scrapy release for a new project, unless you cannot for some reason.
There are no major changes in how Scrapy works between 1.8 and 2.0; upgrading from 1.8 to 2.0 should be as easy as upgrading from 1.7 to 1.8.

What does md-error and md-invalid mean in vuematerial?

There is no documentation on these classes in vue-material. Where these classes come from and how are they related to vuelidate?
I am trying to write client side validation. The form validation example in above link is also not working.
Currently vue-material is in beta releases of 1.0. What is the schedule for the GA release of vue-material 1.0 ?

Using Oxford Speech API in unity

I want to integrate the oxford speech recognition API in a project in unity.
The problem is that the source code in the sample use .NET 4 libraries while unity only support until 3.5 (and only until .NET 2 on phones as far as i know)
Did someone found a way to make it work?
Thanks!
The sample code you mention is the SDK sample I believe. The functions that come with the SDK is just wrappers around the actual REST API requests. You don't necessarily need to use them. Instead I suggest you give the REST API itself a try. You can find the info below.

And here is sample usage for your convenience
API testing console.
One more thing to remember is the Auth token expires every 10 mins so it's a good idea to renew every 9 mins.
Hope this helps!

Today, 2011/12/1, Google will be shutting down version 1.0 of their language API. The version of the API that your library uses is 1.0.
Version 2.0 can be found here, which costs $20 per 1 million words, with a 2 million words per day quota.
Since you probably want something free, you can use Microsoft's Translator API, where its free usage works for 2 million characters per month.
