CorePDF 0.6.0

CorePDF

A basic PDF library that works with .net that you can do with as you please.

Important

This library does not (yet) support the creation of encrypted or secure PDFs. So it should not be used to store sensitive information.

Example

document = new Document();

// Add any images that you want to include in the document
document.Images = new List<Embeds.ImageFile>
{
    new Embeds.ImageFile
    {
        Name = "smiley",
        FilePath = "smiley.jpg"
    }
};

// Add any extra fonts you want to include in the document. Please note that 
// the widths (below) are based on the characters being organised in the ASCII order (see next line)
//  !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~
// note: space is the first non-zero sized character (position 32)
document.EmbedFont(new FontFile
{
    Name = "GreatVibes-Regular",
    BaseFont = "GreatVibes",
    FilePath = "GreatVibes-Regular.ttf",
    MaximumWidth = 2031, // this value is specific to the font being embeded
    AverageWidth = 286, // this value is specific to the font being embeded
    Ascent = 851, // this value is specific to the font being embeded
    Descent = -400, // this value is specific to the font being embeded
