The following code example explains how to add an image from disk to a PDF document, by providing the rectangle coordinates. The PdfTextElement provides the layout result of the added text by using the location of the next element that decides to prevent content overlapping. This is not available in the DrawString method. The following code example adds the necessary text such as address, invoice number and date to create a basic invoice application. Essential PDF provides two types of table models.
The difference between both the table models can be referred from the link Difference between PdfLightTable and PdfGrid. Since the invoice document requires only simple cell customizations, the given code example explains how to create a simple invoice table by using PdfGrid. The following code example shows how to save the invoice document to disk and dispose the PdfDocument object. An interactive form, sometimes referred to as an AcroForm is a collection of fields for gathering information interactively from the user.
A PDF document can contain any number of fields appearing in any combination of pages, all of that make a single, globally interactive form spanning the entire document. To work with existing form documents, the following namespaces are required. You can get the form field either by using its field name or field index.
You can merge the multiple PDF documents from disk by specifying the path of the documents in a string array. Take a look at our next generation Bold Reporting Tools.

JYelton JYelton You can still get the earlier LGPL version if you want to use the library commercially. It is available on NuGet - nuget. I made a question here on SO about iText, and as you can see, they answered me directly about the LGPL license, and how it can cause trouble on commercial projects.
So, can't use that either. Show 3 more comments. Justin Justin 4, 3 3 gold badges 25 25 silver badges 37 37 bronze badges. This is no MIT licensed software package. Be aware of this when deploying. The Overflow Blog.
Stack Gives Back Safety in numbers: crowdsourcing data on nefarious IP addresses. All we have to do is simply add the name of the file with its extension to the return statement:.
If we want to deploy this application, we have to make some changes. First, in the Utility folder we are going to add a new class CustomAssemblyLoadContext and modify it:. LoadUnmanagedLibrary Path. GetCurrentDirectory , "libwkhtmltox. In here, we are creating an instance of the CustomAssemblyLoadContext class and just call the LoadUnmanagedLibrary method with the path of the libwkhtmltox.
We need to do one more thing. When we publish our application, we need to have the libwkhtmltox. To ensure that, right-click on the dll file in Solution Explorer and choose properties. We need to repeat these steps for the CSS file as well:. Now, all we have to do is to publish our application by following one of these tutorials or both of them:.
We have created our PDFs in different ways to show many different features of this library. Find out how! Notify of. Oldest Newest Most Voted. Inline Feedbacks. Works pretty neat. NET version which has some restrictions in terms of the number of pages, etc. Plus they offer a community license. They have. NET and. NET Core versions. It has Nuget packages available.
While they have a deployment license which is single server, single application, they have a company license available. The company license is unlimited devs, unlimited apps, unlimited deployments. They actually give you a lot of bang for the buck, but most of it will probably go unused. I made a wrapper around wkhtmltopdf that includes all binaries, it works on windows, linux and mac. PdfSharpCore for rendering pdf from html. I did on this very blog!
I too have conducted similar research, also with disappointing results. We are happy to pay for the license providing it is reasonable. Aspose and Syncfusion pricing is simply crazy, so I have not even evaluated them. We are using the Mvc razor engine for templating, and extract the Html directly from that. We therefore needed a library to convert Html strings or streams to Pdf documents. For us, a crucial component was that we could specify the header in Html.
This eliminated any wkhtmltopdf wrapper library, since wkhtmltopdf only supports a header as a document or url. Writing the header to a temp file and deleting afterwards smelled too bad for my liking. If this is not crucial for you, then one of the wrappers for wkhtmltopdf could work very well, DinkToPdf is probably the best bet. IronPdf was one of the few libraries that seemed to completely ignore this style and would split a table row in half at the page break.
This completely ruled out IronPdf for us. Two libraries not mentioned above are HiQPdf and Winnovative. These are both reasonably priced, and in my test use case worked the best. Page headers were simple and css was very well honoured. Have you looked at Puppeteer Sharp? That uses Headless Chromium to fetch your website and create a pdf from it.
We are using that with MVC Razor to create pdfs — by simply hosting the pages and pointing puppeteer at it. It may sound like overkill, but when you have set it up, it works fine.
Hello there, what did you come up with at the end? After 2 weeks of searching, I could not find any tool that suits my purposes. You can import it to your project through Nuget. You can also embed images.
Just build a simple web API with. Common NuGet package.
