PDFsharp & MigraDoc Forum

HI,

My program developed in C #, using the unity platform, generates an document in pdf and saves it.
The executable for windows works perfectly. The executable for MAC OS X doesn't work.
It is a simple code. I don't know if it's a file permission problem, or is there something special to do for Mac OS.
thanks for your help.

2. Code:

public void CrearHistorial(DataTable tablaFormato)
{
// Create a MigraDoc document
Papiro _papiro = GameObject.Find("MenuInicio2").GetComponent<Papiro>();
Document document = _papiro.CreateHistorial(tablaFormato);

//string ddl = MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.IO.DdlWriter.WriteToString(document);
MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.IO.DdlWriter.WriteToFile(document, "MigraDoc.mdddl");

PdfDocumentRenderer renderer = new PdfDocumentRenderer(true, PdfFontEmbedding.Always);

renderer.Document = document;

renderer.RenderDocument();

// Save the document...
//string filename = "Historial.pdf";
string filename = Application.dataPath + "/Historial.pdf";
renderer.PdfDocument.Save(filename);
// ...and start a viewer.
Process.Start(filename);
}

I found out that the error appears in the call " renderer.RenderDocument() ".
Any ideas?

I believed the internal workings of that method calls Win32 APIs which are probably never going to work on a Mac.

There is no ETA for a PDFsharp version that works with .NET Core or .NET 5. The current internal build still has many limitations, but support for Linux and Mac will come one day.
