You can activate some options to generate smaller PDF files – at the price of longer creation times.

In your program, you simply call the AddFont method of EZFontResolver. You simply pass the filename of your font or a byte array containing the font data.

Achieve the same document, but with fewer lines of code. And in my humble opinion those lines are even easier to read (and to write).

This class can also be used with MigraDoc 1.50 beta 2.

Currently I am working on a library that makes using MigraDoc even easier. Working title is “MigraDoc Made EZR”. In this post I show you some examples. Continue reading Using MigraDoc was never easier – “MigraDoc Made EZR” Posted on September 28, 2015 October 27, 2018 Author Thomas Categories .NET , C# , MigraDoc 2 Comments on Using MigraDoc was never easier – “MigraDoc Made EZR” XTextFormatter revisited: XTextFormatterEx2 for PDFsharp 1.50 beta 2 In an earlier post I described how to improve the XTextFormatter class for PDFsharp 1.32. The problem with that old version: the modified version of XTextFormatter has to be in an assembly with access to the internals of PDFsharp, so you have to compile PDFsharp in order to have an enhanced formatter. With PDFsharp 1.50 beta things are simpler: all the XTextFormatter class needs is public now and you can use an enhanced version of XTextFormatter even if you are working with the NuGet package of PDFsharp. My XTextFormatterEx2 has the measuring functionality from XTextFormatterEx. Additionally it allows to control the line spacing.

This post describes the new solution for PDFsharp 1.50 beta 2 and later versions. PDFsharp 1.50 implements a new mechanism for private fonts (fonts that are not installed on the system). You simply implement IFontResolver and assign this to a global property: // That's all it takes to register your own fontresolver GlobalFontSettings.FontResolver = new DemoFontResolver(); The interesting part is IFontResolver and how you implement it.

As the name PDFsharp implies, those libraries were developed by C# fans. Here is a Visual Basic sample for MigraDoc. It should be enough to help you understand the C# samples for MigraDoc and translate them to Visual Basic when needed.

A nice progress bar will prevent users from pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del to kill a presumably hung application. I’ll show you how this can be done.

A frequently requested feature: how to measure the height of the text before drawing it? I decided to add this measuring functionality. I found it was more difficult than I expected.
