PDFsharp & MigraDoc Forum

I use for years PDFsharp, and I found out a few days ago that only in Windows 7 when the images are pasted through DrawImage not taken along the length of the image but only a part.

I tried to use PDFsharp 1.50 beta only tells me that this code Impossible convert from System.Drawing.SolidBrush to XBrush but that does work with PDFsharp 1.32

I'm afraid I do not understand what the problem really is. An SSCCE would help. Or maybe a PDF file created under Windows 7 and one from a different OS for comparison.
Sounds like a Windows problem.

I'm sorry I thought I was clear

I use a software that PDFsharp (until version 1.32) and when I insert a jpeg image to a PDF by DrawImage in Windows XP is inserted correctly in Windows 7 while only a part, is cut.

Googoled I read that maybe the beta version of PDFsharp 1.50 beta solves this problem, right?

You need a GDI+ build of PDFsharp for this conversion. This applies to PDFsharp 1.32 and to PDFsharp 1.50 beta, no change in PDFsharp here.

You did not mention Windows XP, you just wrote it doesn't work with Windows 7 ("only in Windows 7").
The current version is Windows 10 and support for XP ended more than 15 months ago. Reading "only in Windows 7" I assumed it was working with Windows 8 and 8.1.
If it is the old known bug then it will not occur "only in Windows 7" but also in Windows 8 and 8.1, maybe even in Windows 10 (not yet tested).
It should work with PDFsharp 1.50 beta.


There are PDFsharp versions for Silverlight, for GDI, for WPF, and a platform-independent core build. You need the build for GDI.
