PDF Generation in C# using ABCpdf .NET

Simple...
ABCpdf .NET is designed to be simple to use. It does things the way you'd expect.

Take an example. Open an existing PDF document and add a page number to the first page.

First we create a PDF document object. We read in the existing PDF, add a page number to the top left and save the modified document.

Doc doc = new Doc();

doc.Read(@"c:\old_doc.pdf");
doc.AddText("Page 1");
doc.Save(@"c:\new_doc.pdf");

That's all there is to it! How much simpler could you get?

Easy...
Or suppose we want to make a PDF of the google search page. We create a PDF document object, add the web page then save the document.

Doc doc = new Doc();

doc.AddImageUrl("http://www.google.com/");
doc.Save(@"c:\google.pdf");

Pretty straightforward eh?

...Yet Powerful.
ABCpdf .NET is designed to be powerful. If you know about PDF you can use it to access and manipulate virtually any aspect of your PDF documents.

This example is complicated. It pre-supposes a knowledge of the internal structure of PDF documents. If you are new to PDF don't worry if it doesn't
all make sense. Just remember, if you need it, it's there!

Let's suppose you have a large PDF containing economic data for every country in the world. You would like to ensure that the document opens
showing the most relevant page for each client.

So someone from Mexico downloads the document. We know that page 165 contains the data for Mexico so let's alter the PDF so that it opens onto
this page.

First we create a document object and read in our existing document.

Doc doc = new Doc();

doc.Read(@"c:\data.pdf");

Then we find the object ID for page 165.

doc.PageNumber = 165;
int page = doc.Page;

We create a destination for this page and insert an open action into the document catalog.

string action = $"[ {page} 0 R /Fit ]";

doc.SetInfo(doc.Root, "/OpenAction", action);

Finally we save the modified document.

doc.Save(@"c:\new_data.pdf");

Most people will never need this level of control. But if you do - it's there!

How others use ABCpdf .NET ASP.NET and VB
