Soyuz.iTextSharp

Soyuz.iTextSharp

Soyuz.iTextSharp is a fork of iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core, which in turn is an unofficial port of the last LGPL version of the iTextSharp (v4.1.6) to .NET Core.

I'm keeping this fork because the original author, for some reason, stopped accepting contributions (disabled issues and pull requests).

Install via NuGet

To install Soyuz.iTextSharp, run the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Nuget NuGet

PM> Install-Package Soyuz.iTextSharp

You can also view the package page on NuGet.

FAQ

The pdf is created, but when I try to view it, it says that the document is in use by another process.

You should dispose the FileStream/MemoryStream explicitly. It won't be closed and disposed automatically at the end.

I can't find what would be the equivalent of the PdfTextExtractor class.

PdfTextExtractor exists in v5.0.2+ with AGPL license (Current project is based on the iTextSharp 4.x, not 5.x).

It can't display Unicode characters.

You can find more samples about how to define and use Unicode fonts here.

Table rowspans don't work correctly.

This version which is based on iTextSharp V4.1.6 doesn't support rowspans correctly (iTextSharp supports row spans correctly since v5.4.3, not before that). A solution based on the current version: use nested tables to simulate it.

iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker does not exist.

It has been renamed to HtmlWorker.

I used SKBitmap (SkiaSharp) with barcodes or Image.GetInstance(...). Why doesn't my code compile anymore?

The library no longer depends on SkiaSharp and is fully managed (no native assets). The SKBitmap-based APIs now use a small managed iTextSharp.text.RawBitmap instead. See the migration guide for the full list of breaking changes and copy-paste snippets to convert RawBitmap to/from SKBitmap and System.Drawing.Bitmap.

Licensing

You have three license choices when it comes to iTextSharp: LGPL/MPL, AGPL, or a commercial license. The LGPL/MPL license is only an option with the older 4.1.6 version (used here). After that version, they switched to a dual AGPL/Commercial.

If you need a more recent version, you either have to make your project open-source or pay the license fee.
