    Render PDF page example

    Note: If you have issues running on Linux make sure that libgdiplus is installed since this example uses System.Drawing.Common.

  • Convert JPEG file to PDF: example

Usage

  • DocLib.Instance should be treated as a singleton that lives as long as your application. It should only be disposed when you intend to clean all unmanaged resources of PDFium.

.NET Framework Support

Newer versions of .NET Framework are also supported, Docnet.Core.targets tries to automatically find which version of the native PDFium binary to copy but that can sometime be unreliable especially if running on AnyCPU. You can manually specify DocnetRuntime property in your project file to influence which library version to copy. Allowed values are win-x64, win-x86, linux and osx.

Example below makes sure that we always copy x64 binary on windows:

  <PropertyGroup>
    <DocnetRuntime Condition=" '$([MSBuild]::IsOsPlatform(Windows))' ">win-x64</DocnetRuntime>
  </PropertyGroup>
