I've researched quite a bit but most answers I've found involve using iText which is only free for authors of open source software.
My question is how to utilise a free (preferably well maintained) PDF library to convert an image into PDF. More specifically I'm using Selenium to test a webpage and part of the requirements are for a screenshot of a results page to be saved in PDF format.
What I have at the moment:
Screenshot screenshot = ((ITakesScreenshot)WebDriver).GetScreenshot();
fileName = filePath + fileName;
screenshot.SaveAsFile($"{fileName}.png", ImageFormat.Png);
// Convert to PDF and delete image
// ?
C programming language is a machine-independent programming language that is mainly used to create many types of applications and operating systems such as Windows, and other complicated programs such as the Oracle database, Git, Python interpreter, and games and is considered a programming foundation in the process of ...
In the real sense it has no meaning or full form. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T bell Lab. First, they used to call it as B language then later they made some improvement into it and renamed it as C and its superscript as C++ which was invented by Dr.
Compared to other languages—like Java, PHP, or C#—C is a relatively simple language to learn for anyone just starting to learn computer programming because of its limited number of keywords.
C is an imperative procedural language supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope, and recursion, with a static type system. It was designed to be compiled to provide low-level access to memory and language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, all with minimal runtime support.
I've come up with a way to do this using PDFSharp, hopefully will be useful for others as well.
// Convert to PDF and delete image
PdfHelper.Instance.SaveImageAsPdf($"{fileName}.png", $"{fileName}.pdf", 1000, true);
The new class:
using System.IO;
using PdfSharp.Drawing;
using PdfSharp.Pdf;
public sealed class PdfHelper
{
private PdfHelper()
{
}
public static PdfHelper Instance { get; } = new PdfHelper();
internal void SaveImageAsPdf(string imageFileName, string pdfFileName, int width = 600, bool deleteImage = false)
{
using (var document = new PdfDocument())
{
PdfPage page = document.AddPage();
using (XImage img = XImage.FromFile(imageFileName))
{
// Calculate new height to keep image ratio
var height = (int)(((double)width / (double)img.PixelWidth) * img.PixelHeight);
// Change PDF Page size to match image
page.Width = width;
page.Height = height;
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
gfx.DrawImage(img, 0, 0, width, height);
}
document.Save(pdfFileName);
}
if (deleteImage)
File.Delete(imageFileName);
}
}
