April 13, 2011 The (BHL) is a consortium of many of the world’s leading natural history and botanical libraries. The goal of the organization is to digitize and make available legacy biodiversity literature. One popular feature of the BHL web site is the ability for visitors to select up to 100 pages from a book and generate a PDF containing those pages. More than 100 custom PDFs are created each day. As the primary developer of the site, I want to highlight the tool that we use to generate the PDFs. ITextSharp is a freely-available port of the popular Java component for generating PDFs, iText. While iTextSharp is powerful, it’s documentation is not ideal.

The official website for the component points you to the documentation for the original Java tool. Unfortunately, while this provides good information, many things that you’d like to accomplish with iTextSharp are implemented slightly differently than with iText. I found that these discrepancies between the Java documentation and the.NET implementation led to many instances of trial-and-error development. I hope that this post will help illustrate how to use the iTextSharp component, and save others some frustration.

Getting Set Up To get started using iTextSharp, go to and download the latest version of iTextSharp (5.0.6 at the time of this writing). You can download the compiled assembly, or if you prefer, the source code. To make iTextSharp available for use in your application, simply add a reference to the iTextSharp library. How-To: The Code Samples The following code samples illustrate a number of basic and advanced features of iTextSharp. Included are examples of basic text layout and formatting, image insertion, page sizing, page labeling, metadata assignment, bullet lists, and linking. Let’s start with a method named Build() which provides the framework for a simple application that builds a five-page PDF. The rest of the code samples build on this one.

Here is the code listing. Dear Mike Lichtenberg Salute you for tremendous effort for making other’s life easy. 1000 lugares que ver antes de morir pdf descargar hoja y.

Recently I got a requirement from my business in which I have to read a text file (which contains multiple records of customers). I need to read complete file from top to bottom and then extract data customer wise.

Then I have to create pdf files for each customer. Hence there are two parts of my assignment; 1- reading a text file customer wise 2- create pdf files customer wise. Could you please help me out to start with this assignment.

Any link which already have such kind of task done earlier. Regards Peter. OK, I had some time to give this a try this evening, using as a starting point the example code on the ASP.net forums that I referenced in my previous comment. It turns out that while this is easy to do in principle, the iTextSharp HTML parser seems to be rather suspect.

If the image paths (and I suspect the paths to other resources) are not fully qualified (i.e. Instead of just /images/image.gif), the html parser chokes. I also ran into a problem trying to convert Google’s home page to a PDF. No images there, but it appeared that iTextSharp’s html parser got lost in the large amount of minified Javascript that is present in the Google page source. So, if your pages contain very basic HTML, or if you can grab just a simplified block of HTML (rather than an entire page), then you might have success.

However, if you’re dealing with complete pages and/or complex HTML, it seems unlikely that you’ll be able to easily get this to work. If you mean the size in bytes of the image, then just check the size of the image outside the PDF. A 40 KB image added to a PDF will add 40 KB to the size of the PDF. If you are asking about the dimensions in pixels of an image after it is inserted into the PDF, then that is something you can control. By default, an image is not scaled when placed into the PDF.

If you notice in the AddPageWithImage method of my example app, I am scaling the page to fit the image. If you would rather scale the image to fit a particular page size, then have a look at the various Scale() methods of the iTextSharp.text.Image class. There are a number of methods for scaling the image (ScaleAbsolute(), ScaleAboluteHeight(), ScaleAbsoluteWidth(), ScalePercent()). Once you have scaled the image, you can get the new dimensions by evaluating the ScaledHeight and ScaledWidth properties of the iTextSharp.text.Image instance. The Height and Width properties always contain the original dimensions of the image. Hope that helps!
