A quick start .NET console project that shows how to create accessible PDF documents using the Syncfusion® PDF Library.
Framework and SDKs
- .NET SDK (version 5.0 or later)
IDEs
- Visual Studio 2019/ Visual Studio 2022
We will create a new .NET console application, add the Syncfusion® PDF library package, and write the code
//Creates new PDF document. PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument(); //Set true to auto tag all elements in document. document.AutoTag = true; //Set the document information title. document.DocumentInformation.Title = "AutoTag"; //Add a new page to the document. PdfPage page = document.Pages.Add(); //Creates new text element. PdfTextElement element = new PdfTextElement("This is paragraph ONE.", new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 12)); //Set the brush for text element. element.Brush = new PdfSolidBrush(new PdfColor(89, 89, 93)); //Draw the text element in PDF page. element.Draw(page, new RectangleF(0, 0, page.Graphics.ClientSize.Width / 2, 200)); //Creates new text element. PdfTextElement element1 = new PdfTextElement("This is paragraph TWO.", new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 12)); //Set the brush for text element. element1.Brush = new PdfSolidBrush(new PdfColor(89, 89, 93)); //Draw the next element in PDF page. element1.Draw(page, new RectangleF(0, 50, page.Graphics.ClientSize.Width / 2, 200)); //Creates new text element. PdfTextElement element2 = new PdfTextElement("This is paragraph THREE.", new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 12)); //Set the brush for text element. element2.Brush = new PdfSolidBrush(new PdfColor(89, 89, 93)); //Draw the next element in PDF page. element2.Draw(page.Graphics, new PointF(0, 100)); //Create file stream. using (FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream("Output.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite)) { //Save the PDF document to file stream. document.Save(outputFileStream); } //Close the document. document.Close(true);Output Image
