PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

hi,

I have generated a pdf using PDF sharp and another file generated from acrobat. when I see both the files I noticed PDF sharp shrink the content little size. Why is the difference? I am setting the page size (816,1056). I am seeing font size are same but overall page size is not matched with original one. please let me know.

Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi!

PDFsharp can create documents with any page size (default is IIRC DIN A4 if no page size is set).

My Acrobat also creates A4 pages - exactly same size, no difference.

Hi,

I am getting the source from fixed document and writing as PDF using PDF sharp. I have my custom model of classes like FixedPage,Glyph,Line,Rectangle... before I write a string I get a text from textblock and assigned to Glyphs object.

foreach (Element page in fixedDocument.Children)
{

FixedPage fixedPage = (FixedPage)page;
XGraphics pageGfx = CreatePdfPage(fixedPage);
XForm staticForm = new XForm(_page.Owner,
XUnit.FromPoint(_page.Width), XUnit.FromPoint(_page.Height));
_formGfx = XGraphics.FromForm(staticForm);
e.g
_formGfx.DrawString(glyph.UnicodeString, fontToUse, glyphBrush, layoutRect, textFormat);

_formGfx.Dispose();
}

Please let me know am I doing right way of writing a pdf page. If I take a print out of generated PDF and original one I am seeing custom one y co-ordinate gone down and size of font reduced.

Hi!

When printing with Adobe Reader, you can control how Reader treats page sizes. Make sure that Reader is not scaling your pages while printing.

I had the same problem, at least I think so.

On the PDF (in Acrobat), it looked perfect, but when I print it is comprimised, and looked badly. You should consider the print margins ... (Even if you generated pdf is on a4)

I've done it this way:

Good luck,

Where to set the pageMargin variables?

Hi,

I want to write PDF using PDFsharp for tax forms 1040. When I take printout, page size has squeezed. Please provide a solution.

_page = _document.AddPage();
_page.Width = fixedPage.Width;
_page.Height = fixedPage.Height;
//_page.Size = PdfSharp.PageSize.A4;

//XUnit pageMargeHeight = XUnit.FromInch(11.69);
//XUnit pageMargeWidth = XUnit.FromInch(8.27);

XUnit pageMargeTop = XUnit.FromInch(0.75);
XUnit pageMargeLeft = XUnit.FromInch(0.25);
XUnit pageMargeBottom = _page.Height - (XUnit.FromInch(0.75));
XUnit pageMargeRight = _page.Width - (XUnit.FromInch(0.25));

XTextFormatter tt = new XTextFormatter(gfx);
// Make a new bounding box for the contents of the page

XRect box = new XRect(0,0, pageMargeRight.Point,pageMargeBottom.Point );


form.PageNumber = i;
form.Page.Rotate = 0;
// Add the contents of the page to the new page

gfx.DrawImage(form, box);
}

doc.Save(@"c:\pdf\rescale3.pdf");

Hi!

I cannot do that as long as I don't know where the problem is.

When printing with Adobe Reader, you can control how Reader treats page sizes. Make sure that Reader is not scaling your pages while printing.
