Recommend a free PDF developer's library for C#

Question

I'm using VS 2017 CE, C#, and WinForms on a non-commercial application that adds and deletes pages from PDFs. The added pages are created with minimal text and no drawing or graphics.

I've been using iText7, and it's great, but it has far more power than I need, it's larger than I would like, and I find it hard to use.

I know there are other libraries. I just found out about Debenu PDF, which has a free lite version.

I'm looking for basic PDF editing, lightweight footprint, good documentation, and yes, free. What have you used?
