Creating a Document
RadFixedDocument is the root element in the library. It consists of RadFixedPage objects and instructions for annotations and destinations in the document. Example 1 shows how to create a document and add a page to it.
Example 1: Create RadFixedDocument
RadFixedDocument document = new RadFixedDocument();
RadFixedPage page = document.Pages.AddPage();The page can then be edited through a FixedContentEditor instance. Example 2 creates an editor and adds a TextFragment to the page object created in Example 1.
Example 2: Add text
FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(page);
editor.DrawText("Hello RadPdfProcessing!");Exporting to PDF
Exporting to PDF format can be achieved with the PdfFormatProvider class. Example 3 shows how to export the RadFixedDocument created in Examples 1 and 2 to a file.
Example 3: Export to PDF
PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite("Hello.pdf"))
{
provider.Export(document, output, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
}For more complete examples head to the Developer Focused Examples section of the library.
