| Post subject: | Vector PDF output |
We are evaluating .NET-based tools for generating PDF output. Can PDFsharp handle the following? The sticky wicket with other tools we've tried has been maintaining the vector content in the output. Your help is much appreciated. Key elements: - Must run server-side and be thread safe (web-based). - The typical report output from our software is set up for a large document page size (think 36" x 36" architectural drawings or street maps); - Our drawing/map rendering components generate vector EMF/WMF content as input to the PDF reporting component. - We need a tool that will generate *vector* PDF files. That is, the output PDF file holds vector lines/polygons/points/text etc, not a bit-map conversion. Vector format is essential so users of the PDF can zoom in/out without loss of resolution. Typical application implementation: - Our application renders the EMF/WMF map content - Your component creates the PDF report with page size of ~36" x 36", retaining vector objects in the PDF. - Our application saves the PDF to server file system and email user a link to it (for download). |

Hi! PDFsharp supports vector output: a line is a line, a circle is a circle. Custom page sizes are no problem. It can be used on Web servers. There should be only one thread accessing a PdfDocument object at any time. But you can have several PdfDocument objects at the same time - each with it's own thread. I guess that's what you mean with "thread-safe". |
