Document Solutions for PDF (aka DsPdf) is a .NET class library written in C#, providing an API that allows you to create PDF files from scratch and to load, analyze and modify existing PDF documents.
DsPdf is compatible with .NET 7, .NET 6, .NET 5, .NET Core 3.x and 2.x, .NET Standard 2.x, .NET Framework 4.6.1 or higher, with all features fully supported on all operating systems that support .NET.
DsPdf and supporting packages are available on NuGet.org.
To use DsPdf in an application, you need to reference (install) just the GrapeCity.Documents.Pdf package. It will pull in the required infrastructure packages.
To render HTML content, install the GrapeCity.Documents.Html (aka DsHtml) package. It allows you to save whole HTML pages as PDFs, or include HTML fragments into PDFs along with other content.
To render barcodes, install the GrapeCity.Documents.Barcode (aka DsBarcode) package. It provides extension methods that allow you to add barcodes to PDFs.
On a Windows system, you can optionally install GrapeCity.Documents.Common.Windows. It provides support for font linking specified in the Windows registry, and access to native Windows imaging APIs.
This repository contains example projects that demonstrate basic and advanced features of DsPdf. The samples' code includes extensive comments that will help you learn DsPdf and quickly get up to speed using it.
