PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hi,

We are going to use PdfSharp open source to merge PDF files.

In PdfSharp open source iTexSharp.dll also used.

We want to know what is the use of iTextSharp.dll in PdfSharp open source.

And also want to know what is the impact, if we don't use iTextSharp.dll.

Kindly let as know about iTextSharp.dll use in PdfSharp open source.

Thank in advance.

Note:
We are merging 1.3 and 1.4 PDF file.

With regards,
Venugopal.D

Hi!
Where?
AFAIK iTexSharp.dll is not used in PDFsharp.

Hi,

Kindly find the attachment. I indicated in red color box.

In PdfSharp mentioned as Workaround, see below code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
static public PdfDocument Open(MemoryStream sourceStream, PdfDocumentOpenMode openmode)
{
PdfDocument outDoc = null;
sourceStream.Position = 0;

try
{
outDoc = PdfReader.Open(sourceStream, openmode);
}
catch (PdfSharp.Pdf.IO.PdfReaderException)
{
//workaround if pdfsharp doesn't support this pdf
sourceStream.Position = 0;
MemoryStream outputStream = new MemoryStream();
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader reader = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader(sourceStream);
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfStamper pdfStamper = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfStamper(reader, outputStream);
pdfStamper.FormFlattening = true;
pdfStamper.Writer.SetPdfVersion(iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter.PDF_VERSION_1_4);
pdfStamper.Writer.CloseStream = false;
pdfStamper.Close();

outDoc = PdfReader.Open(outputStream, openmode);
}

return outDoc;
}

This is not part of the official PDFsharp distribution.
PDFsharp does not use iTextSharp.
