Hello,
we would like to generate a pdf-file out of a unity3D game, but there is the well known problem that unity doesn't like the System.Windows.Forms.dll - as far as we can see now.
Is there any way to get pdfSharp running without this dll, i.e. compile it with Mono and the unity specific restrictions?

Actually, it doesn't really matter if such a solution would rely on GDI+ or WPF. We are just wondering, if there's any way at all to do this.

Any hint is appreciated!

Regards
nvf33

We managed to solve the issue, essentially in three steps:
1. Recompile the pdfSharp assemblies from source AFTER deleting all sources containing System.Forms references (very simple: they're all in the source folder PdfSharp.Forms)
Now you can try it in the Unity editor, which automatically loads all necessary & compatible dlls. Outside the editor you need to manually add them to the project:

2. Find a compatible System.Drawing.dll, see http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/53170/using-drawing-package-like-systemdrawing.html for details, it should be somewhere here in the editor: %Unity Folder%\Editor\Data\Mono\lib\mono\2.0 . For Mac support you'll need some extra efforts.

3. Add the internationalization dlls from the editor libs (see 2.) as described here (I18N.dll e.g.) : http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/42955/codepage-1252-not-supported-works-in-editor-but-no.html

The only thing which doesn't work is web player support, but there may be an pdfsharp update in near future for that.

Hi NVF33,
I read your instruction but I then got an error when running the Hello World script using the function Xgraphics.DrawString.
I'm getting an error
error CS0012: The type `System.Drawing.PointF' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. Consider adding a reference to assembly `System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, '

Any idea what I can do?

Thanks in advance!

How about adding that reference? Have you tried that?

That is a normal compiler error message. When you add a reference to library A and lib A uses types from library B in public methods then you also have to reference library B. This is not specific to Unity3D.
