Iron Software Sees 200% Increase in Agentic AI Adoption for HTML to PDF C# Workflows with IronPDF

A decade of building reliable document processing tools—including the industry-leading IronPDF library for HTML to PDF C# conversion—positions Iron Software at the center of the enterprise AI execution layer

CHICAGO, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Iron Software, a leading provider of .NET document processing libraries and creator of IronPDF, today highlighted its strategic position in the rapidly emerging agentic AI landscape. Major consulting firms’ 2026 technology reports confirm what Iron Software has been building toward for a decade: AI agents need reliable, enterprise-grade tools to do real work—and document processing is where that work begins.

Cameron Rimington, CEO and Founder of Iron Software (right):
Cameron Rimington, CEO and Founder of Iron Software (right): “We didn’t predict the AI revolution. But we did predict that enterprises would always need to create PDFs, extract text from images, and manipulate spreadsheets. Now AI agents need to do all of those same things.”

Deloitte’s Tech Trends 2026 report, published December 10, 2025, identifies agentic AI as one of five interconnected forces reshaping enterprise technology, yet cautions that “only 11% have successfully deployed these systems in production.” The report finds that “processes designed for human workers don’t work for agents” and calls for enterprises to rebuild rather than merely enhance their foundations.

PwC’s 2026 AI Business Predictions report reinforces this shift from experimentation to execution, warning that “crowdsourcing AI efforts can create impressive adoption numbers, but it seldom produces meaningful business outcomes.” PwC urges enterprises to “go narrow and deep” on high-value workflows, identifying document-heavy functions like finance, HR, tax, and internal audit as prime candidates for agentic transformation.

The Gap Between Intelligence and Execution

AI agents can reason, plan, and make decisions—but they cannot generate a contract, parse a scanned invoice, or produce a client report without the right tools. Iron Software’s product suite, anchored by IronPDF, provides the execution layer that bridges this gap.

IronPDF enables developers to convert HTML to PDF in C# with a single method call—a capability now in high demand as AI agents automate document generation workflows across enterprise environments. When an agent determines that a financial report needs to be created or a customer-facing proposal needs to be rendered, it is libraries like IronPDF that perform the actual work. The broader Iron Software suite—including IronOCR, IronXL, and IronBarcode—extends this execution layer across the full spectrum of enterprise document tasks.

“AI agents are only as capable as the tools they can call upon,” said Jacob Mellor, CTO of Iron Software. “Consider a common enterprise workflow: an AI agent needs to pull data from a spreadsheet, generate an HTML report, and convert HTML to PDF in C# for distribution. That agent needs IronXL to read the data and IronPDF to render the final document—reliably, every single time, at scale. When Deloitte reports that enterprises are struggling to move AI from pilots to production, a significant part of that challenge is infrastructure. We’ve spent ten years building exactly that.”

A Decade of Building for This Moment

Iron Software celebrates its 10th anniversary at a moment that validates its founding thesis. Since 2015, the company has grown from a single PDF library into a comprehensive suite of .NET document processing tools used by thousands of enterprise customers worldwide.

Deloitte predicts that by 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, compared to less than 1% in 2024. Separately, Deloitte forecasts that as many as 75% of companies may invest in agentic AI by the end of 2026. PwC identifies functions like “finance, HR, IT, tax, and internal audit” as areas especially ripe for agent deployment—all functions that routinely involve the kind of document creation, extraction, and processing that IronPDF and the broader Iron Software suite are built to handle.

“Ten years ago, we made a bet that developers would always need high-quality libraries for document processing,” said Cameron Rimington, CEO of Iron Software. “We didn’t predict the AI revolution. But we did predict that enterprises would always need to create PDFs, extract text from images, and manipulate spreadsheets. Now AI agents need to do all of those same things. PwC’s report makes clear that ‘technology delivers only about 20% of an initiative’s value.’ The other 80% comes from redesigning work around tools that actually perform. That’s what we’ve spent a decade perfecting.”

On the Ground: How Enterprises Are Already Building

The reports’ findings align with what enterprise technology leaders are already experiencing. Glenn Le Marchant, Head of Technology Strategy at PKF Australia and founder of QWERTY Software Solutions, recently built an automated document processing solution by orchestrating Iron Software libraries alongside traditional code—and found that senior stakeholders assumed it was powered by AI.

“Companies are trying to use large language models to replace human intelligence and automate business processes, but that is the wrong approach,” said Le Marchant, who spent 18 years at Commonwealth Bank in senior technology roles before joining PKF. “AI is best used as one tool within a toolkit to re-engineer processes and automate them. Chaining together tools such as IronPDF, IronOCR, AI, and traditional code like API calls and rules engines, allows businesses to streamline and automate processes and orchestrate information across systems.”

Le Marchant’s experience illustrates a key theme from both reports: the most effective enterprise automation doesn’t come from AI alone—it comes from intelligent orchestration of the right tools. As AI agents increasingly enter these workflows, they will depend on the same proven libraries that are already delivering results today.

.NET Developers: More Essential Than Ever

Iron Software saw the convergence of AI and .NET development firsthand at .NET Conf 2025, the annual Microsoft developer conference held November 11–13, 2025, which Iron Software sponsored again this year. The event’s agenda was heavily focused on AI, featuring keynote sessions on agentic development, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), AI-powered development with GitHub Copilot, and building intelligent applications with .NET—a clear signal that the .NET ecosystem is positioning itself at the center of the enterprise AI buildout.

“The rise of agentic AI doesn’t diminish the role of .NET developers—it elevates it,” said Cameron Rimington, CEO of Iron Software. “.NET developers are still essential. They’re the ones building, integrating, and overseeing the systems that AI agents operate within. What’s changing is that with the right tools—like IronPDF and our broader suite—those developers can now move quicker and achieve more than ever before. A workflow that once took a team days to build and test can now be orchestrated in hours. The developer isn’t being replaced. They’re being supercharged.”

Enterprise-Ready Means AI-Ready

IronPDF and the Iron Software suite are already integrated into tens of thousands of production environments across financial services, healthcare, legal, and government. The libraries support .NET 10, run across Windows, Linux, macOS, and containerized environments including Docker and Azure, and are designed with the programmatic accessibility that agentic architectures demand. For developers building AI-powered workflows, the path from HTML to PDF in C# through IronPDF is already a well-documented, production-proven capability—not an experiment.

“The AI industry is learning what enterprise software developers have always known,” said Jacob Mellor, CTO of Iron Software. “Processing a PDF correctly every single time, handling edge cases in OCR, maintaining backwards compatibility across framework versions—these aren’t glamorous problems. But they are exactly the problems AI agents will encounter the moment they start doing real work. Deloitte notes that ‘the infrastructure built for cloud-first strategies can’t handle AI economics.’ We agree. That’s why we’ve always built our tools for the demands of production, not the convenience of demos.”

Looking Ahead

As the agentic AI market matures throughout 2026, Iron Software plans to continue investing in developer experience, cross-platform reliability, and seamless integration with AI-driven workflows. The company’s roadmap includes enhancements to IronPDF and the broader suite designed to optimize performance in automated, high-throughput environments where AI agents orchestrate complex document pipelines.

Global Times: China’s No.1 central document in starting year of 15th Five-Year Plan sets agricultural modernization roadmap, turning rural potential into growth momentum

BEIJING, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — China unveiled its “No.1 central document” for 2026 on Tuesday, outlining plans to advance agricultural and rural modernization and to promote all-around rural revitalization, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

As the first major policy document on agriculture and rural affairs issued at the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), analysts said the document is expected to help translate the vast potential of agriculture and rural areas into concrete drivers of economic growth and high-quality development.

This marks the 14th No.1 central document focusing on agriculture and rural work since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012. As the first policy statement released by central authorities each year, the document is widely seen as a barometer of policy priorities.

According to Xinhua, the document consists of six sections covering efforts to enhance agricultural production capacity and efficiency, implement normalized and targeted assistance, promote steady income growth for farmers, advance livable and business-friendly rural development, enhance institutional innovation, and strengthen the Party’s leadership over agriculture, rural areas and farmers.

The document notes that the 15th Five-Year Plan period is a critical stage for laying the foundation for basically realizing socialist modernization, calling for efforts to shore up weak links in agriculture and rural areas, and secure faster progress in building up China’s strength in agriculture.

Among the key highlights, the document places particular emphasis on boosting comprehensive agricultural production capacity and quality efficiency, and for the first time makes systematic arrangements for implementing normalized and targeted assistance.

Chinese economists said the document sets higher development benchmarks while strengthening baseline safeguards through a system-wide modernization approach, helping lay a solid foundation for accelerating agricultural and rural modernization during the 15th Five-Year Plan period and supporting high-quality growth and domestic demand.

Boosting food security through technology

The document calls for improving the effectiveness of policies that strengthen agriculture, benefit farmers and promote rural prosperity, while firmly safeguarding national food security and upgrading rural industries. It also stresses efforts to build agriculture into a modernized major industry and improve farmers’ livelihoods, providing support for Chinese modernization, according to Xinhua.

By anchoring agricultural development firmly in modernization, the document sets a high bar even by international standards and reflects policymakers’ determination to advance agricultural and rural modernization through systemic reform, said Hu Qimu, deputy secretary-general of the Forum 50 for Digital-Real Economies Integration.

“The goal goes beyond agricultural output, aiming to build a coordinated framework linking population mobility, rural development and industrial growth,” Hu told the Global Times on Tuesday.

Food security remains the top priority and a firm red line, according to the document. It sets a target of keeping grain output at around 1.4 trillion jin (700 million tons), providing a clear benchmark for the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan period and underscoring China’s resolve to keep its food supply firmly in its own hands.

The document sets out new measures to stabilize grain and edible oil production, including stepping up a new round of the 50-million-ton grain capacity enhancement program and promoting integrated use of farmland, seeds, machinery and farming techniques to raise yields at scale.

Zhao Changbao, director of the Rural Economy Research Center at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said boosting per-unit yields of major grain and oil crops is key to strengthening food security, improving the match between supply and demand, and supporting farmers’ income growth, CCTV reported on Tuesday.

Wang Gangyi, a professor at Northeast Agricultural University, told the Global Times that technology – including bio-breeding, AI and digital technologies – has become the key variable and the critical breakthrough for raising grain output under resource constraints in China.

These priorities are translated into concrete measures in the document, which calls for accelerating the breeding and promotion of breakthrough crop varieties, expanding applications of drones, the Internet of Things and robotics, and ensuring agricultural technologies reach villages.

Official data show that China’s contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress exceeds 64 percent, and independently bred crop varieties account for more than 95 percent of planted areas.

Normalized targeted assistance

Another major highlight is the call to implement normalized and targeted assistance, marking the first time the No.1 central document has made systematic arrangements for this policy.

The move reflects the evolving policy needs. Although China achieved decisive success in poverty alleviation in 2020 and consolidated the results through a five-year transition period, risks of falling back into poverty remain, making it necessary to shift support measures from temporary arrangements to a normalized and institutionalized framework, members of the document’s drafting group said, according to a Xinhua report.

The document outlines measures to improve the policy system for normalized assistance, enhance monitoring precision and timeliness, strengthen industrial and employment-based support, and provide differentiated assistance to underdeveloped regions. It also incorporates normalized assistance into the overall rural revitalization strategy, while maintaining policy stability in fiscal input, financial support and resource allocation.

Hu said the policy shift reflects a move toward more focused and efficient support as rural industrial foundations and farmers’ income-generating capacity improve, providing stronger institutional safeguards for consolidating poverty alleviation gains.

In addition to these key measures, the document also stresses promoting steady income growth for farmers through coordinated policies on prices, subsidies and insurance, fostering county-level industries and stabilizing employment for migrant workers.

As the first major sector-specific policy released in the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), the document aims to systematically turn rural potential into tangible growth momentum, income gains and jobs, Hu added.

More broadly, experts noted that while the document focuses on agriculture and rural affairs, it carries wider economic implications. With China’s urbanization rate at 67.89 percent, boosting rural incomes and development capacity is key to expanding domestic demand and supporting the unified national market.
