Create PDF Documents from Your Applications

ComponentOne PDF™ for .NET allows you to create Adobe PDF documents from your applications. The commands provided for adding content to documents are similar to the ones available in the .NET Graphics class. So, if you know how to display text and graphics in .NET Graphics, then you already know how to use PDF for .NET. This powerful tool supports advanced features included in the PDF specification such as security, compression, outlining, hyper-linking, and attachments.

Highlights

Familiar Syntax Using DrawImage Method

Adding images to PDF for .NET documents is easy; all the work is done by the DrawImage method. DrawImage draws a given image at a specified location and has parameters that provide control over the image alignment and scaling. You can render any regular .NET Image object, including metafiles.

Fast Rendering and Compression of Images in Metafiles
Fast Rendering and Compression of Images in Metafiles

Metafiles are not converted into bitmaps; they are parsed and converted into vector graphics commands and thus retain the best possible resolution. If you want to add charts or technical drawings to your PDF document, metafiles are better than bitmap images.

Manage Document Restrictions

Allow users to copy and edit content, restrict users from printing the document, set annotation edit permission to the user, and more.

Add Attachments to PDF Files

Attachments can contain any kind of file, including spreadsheets with detailed information that would clutter the main document, multimedia files with movies and sound, sample code, and more. Adding an attachment to your PDF file is easy. Simply specify which file you want to attach, what area of the page should contain the attachment, and optionally, the appearance of the attachment.
