原文地址:Create/Read Advance PDF Report using iTextSharp in C# .NET: Part I By Debopam Pal, 27 Nov 2013html
到PDF原文介紹了iTextSharp這個類庫,並演示了一些基本的操做,基本屬於入門級別的,惋惜做者並無在編寫後續的文章。java
剛好本身也在學習這個類庫,想實現一個導出ASPX頁面到PDF的功能,如做者所說,網上找到的示例好多都是針對舊版本iTextSharp編寫的,還有些驢脣不對馬嘴,並且,不少照抄的連驗證都省了,一點價值都沒有。這篇文章算是詳實的入門文章,實例也都基本操做了一遍實現沒有問題。c#
ps.:第一次翻譯老外的文章,英語水平通常,有些地方詞不達意,還望海涵,若是出入但願幫忙指出。api
下面內容是在更新版本後添加的:
最近我一直在尋找一個高級的工具來建立複雜的PDF報告用在C#.NET中,我找到了iTextSharp
.主要的問題是iTextSharp
.缺少文檔。好吧,有少許的C#代碼例子,可是那些對初學者來講是不夠的而且這些示例代碼都是創建在iTextSharp
的舊版本上,在最新版本上有不少變化。因此,對初學者來講轉換舊版本到新版本比較困難。此外,我認爲假如我寫一篇關於iTextSharp
的文章,它能幫助我同時也能做爲往後的參考,我將爲每個功能點書寫示例。老實說,在這篇文章,我編寫的全部示例,你都能在《iText in Action, Second Edition》這本書的第一節找到,這本書是針對Java開發者編寫的。我將在個人文章中解釋[從java到c#]這本書餘下章節的全部的示例.因此,若是有人對這個庫(iTextSharp
)感興趣,這裏將是一個好的開始。ruby
想知道關於(iTextSharp
)的更多細節,能夠經過他們的官方網站瞭解app
或者 你能夠從下面這個SourceForge的連接下載DLL,而後參照下面步驟:ide
iTextSharp.text
iTextSharp.text.pdf
System.IO.FileStream
對象: FileStream fs = new FileStream("Chapter1_Example1.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None);
iTextSharp.text.Document
對象:Document doc = new Document();
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter
對象: 它有助於把Document書寫到特定的FileStream:PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs);
doc.Open();
doc.Add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));
doc.Close();
建立一個特定大小的頁面,咱們須要建立一個iTextSharp.text.Rectangle
對象同時傳遞一個頁面大小的參數到它的構造函數裏面,下面是定義頁面大小的方法:函數
iTextSharp
裏面頁面大小的單位是‘point。72point=1英寸。假設咱們須要一個寬度=2英寸&高度=10英寸的PDF文件,那麼咱們須要144pt&72pt,讓咱們看下該怎麼作: Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(144, 720);
iTextSharp.text.PageSize
類定義: Rectangle rec2 = new Rectangle(PageSize.A4);下面是內建的版面大小。. 完整的頁面大小說明連接 Documentation of Page Size:

Rectangle rec3 = new Rectangle(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
如今,把剛剛的這個 iTextSharp.text.Rectangle
對象 (任意一個)也就是上面的 'rec',或者 'rec2'或者 'rec3'加入iTextSharp.text.Document
's 的構造函數中:工具
Document doc = new Document(rec);
有幾種方式來設置背景色:oop
iTextSharp.text.BaseColor
. 實例化BaseColor 採用System.Drawing.Color (.NET)對象或者你也能夠用傳遞RGB值的形式來定義: rec.BackgroundColor = new BaseColor(System.Drawing.Color.WhiteSmoke);
iTextSharp.text.pdf.CMYKColor
. CMYKColor 經過傳遞 CMYK 值的方式來構造: rec2.BackgroundColor = new CMYKColor(25, 90, 25, 0);
頁邊距能夠像設置版面大小同樣來定義
加入咱們設置以下的頁邊距:
因此咱們須要分別設置頁面的 Left, Right, Top, Bottom 頁邊距使用point單位,由於咱們知道 iTextSharp
中是使用point做爲單位的,而且 72 points = 1 inch.
實現以下:
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 36, 72, 108, 180);
Alignment
是iTextSharp.text.Paragraph
對象的屬性. iTextSharp
提供了各類對齊方式. 能夠經過iTextSharp.text.Element
類設置對其.如下是iTextSharp提供的對齊方式:
ALIGN_BASELINE
[^]ALIGN_BOTTOM
[^]ALIGN_CENTER
[^]ALIGN_JUSTIFIED
[^]ALIGN_JUSTIFIED_ALL
[^]ALIGN_LEFT
[^]ALIGN_MIDDLE
[^]ALIGN_RIGHT
[^]ALIGN_TOP
[^]ALIGN_UNDEFINED
[^]咱們已經知道在 iTextSharp.text.Document
的構造函數中須要iTextSharp.text.Paragraph
對象,因此在建立Paragraph對象之後咱們能夠設置它的對齊方式,咱們能夠在Document建立過程把Prargraph傳遞進去.
實現以下:
Paragraph para = new Paragraph("Hello World Hello World Hello World Hello World Hello World Hello World Hello World Hello World Hello World Hello World Hello World"); // Setting paragraph's text alignment using iTextSharp.text.Element class para.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED; // Adding this 'para' to the Document object doc.Add(para);
下面這些PDF文檔的元信息 你能夠經過iTextSharp.text.Document
建立的對象doc
(上文的doc)裏面的方法來設置:
下面是他們的一些實現:
// Setting Document properties e.g. // 1. Title // 2. Subject // 3. Keywords // 4. Creator // 5. Author // 6. Header doc.AddTitle("Hello World example"); doc.AddSubject("This is an Example 4 of Chapter 1 of Book 'iText in Action'"); doc.AddKeywords("Metadata, iTextSharp 5.4.4, Chapter 1, Tutorial"); doc.AddCreator("iTextSharp 5.4.4"); doc.AddAuthor("Debopam Pal"); doc.AddHeader("Nothing", "No Header");
如今,打開一個PDF文檔後,右鍵->屬性,你會看到剛纔設置的信息:
咱們能夠經過iTextSharp.text.Document
的NewPage()
方法建立新頁面,咱們來建立5個PDF文檔(頁面) :
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { doc.NewPage(); doc.Add(new Paragraph(string.Format("This is a page {0}", i))); }
咱們可使用iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader
對象讀取一個PDF文檔,而後使用 iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfStamper
對象來把它寫到另外一個PDF文檔。實現以下:
string originalFile = "Original.pdf"; string copyOfOriginal = "Copy.pdf"; using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(originalFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)) using (Document doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER)) using (PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs)) { doc.Open(); doc.Add(new Paragraph("Hi! I'm Original")); doc.Close(); } PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(originalFile); using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(copyOfOriginal, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)) // Creating iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfStamper object to write // Data from iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader object to FileStream object using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, fs)) { }
再iTextSharp
中,PDF文檔建立後能夠添加水印,在這裏我將使用iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfLayer
爲已有的PDF文檔(Original.pdf
)添加水印。實現以下:
string watermarkedFile = "Watermarked.pdf"; // Creating watermark on a separate layer // Creating iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader object to read the Existing PDF Document PdfReader reader1 = new PdfReader(originalFile); using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(watermarkedFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)) // Creating iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfStamper object to write Data from iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader object to FileStream object using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader1, fs)) { // Getting total number of pages of the Existing Document int pageCount = reader1.NumberOfPages; // Create New Layer for Watermark PdfLayer layer = new PdfLayer("WatermarkLayer", stamper.Writer); // Loop through each Page for (int i = 1; i <= pageCount; i++) { // Getting the Page Size Rectangle rect = reader1.GetPageSize(i); // Get the ContentByte object PdfContentByte cb = stamper.GetUnderContent(i); // Tell the cb that the next commands should be "bound" to this new layer cb.BeginLayer(layer); cb.SetFontAndSize(BaseFont.CreateFont( BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED), 50); PdfGState gState = new PdfGState(); gState.FillOpacity = 0.25f; cb.SetGState(gState); cb.SetColorFill(BaseColor.BLACK); cb.BeginText(); cb.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, watermarkText, rect.Width / 2, rect.Height / 2, 45f); cb.EndText(); // Close the layer cb.EndLayer(); } }
實現結果以下:
Whenever we add Layer in PDF Document, then the content of the Layer resides under OCG
Group. So if I remove this Layer we can remove the content of the Layer also e.g. here it is Watermark Text. To remove all the Layers from PDF Document, you have to remove OCG Group completely from the Document usingreader.Catalog.Remove(PdfName.OCPROPERTIES)
. Now follow the Steps below to remove the Watermark Text from Layer:
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader
's objectiTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDictionary
's object using GetPageN(int pageNumber)
method of iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader
's object.iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfArray
's object usingGetAsArray(PdfName.CONTENTS)
method of iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDictionary
's objectiTextSharp.text.pdf.PRStream
's object usingGetAsStream(int arrayIndex)
method of iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfArray
's objectGetStreamBytes(PRStream stream)
ofiTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader
classSystem.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(byte[] bytes)
methodWatermarked Text
. If found then remove it by giving it zero length and zero data using two methods: Put()
& SetData()
of iTextSharp.text.pdf.PRStream
classreader
to a new document usingiTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfStamper
's object Lets Implement it:
// Removing the layer created above // 1. First we bind a reader to the watermarked file // 2. Then strip out a branch of things // 3. Finally use a simple stamper to write out the edited reader PdfReader reader2 = new PdfReader(watermarkedFile); // NOTE: This will destroy all layers in the Document, only use if you don't have any addtional layers // Remove the OCG group completely from the Document: reader2.Catalog.Remove(PdfName.OCPROPERTIES); // Clean up the reader, optional reader2.RemoveUnusedObjects(); // Placeholder variables PRStream stream; string content; PdfDictionary page; PdfArray contentArray; // Get the number of pages int pageCount2 = reader2.NumberOfPages; // Loop through each page for (int i = 1; i <= pageCount2; i++) { // Get the page page = reader2.GetPageN(i); // Get the raw content contentArray = page.GetAsArray(PdfName.CONTENTS); if (contentArray != null) { // Loop through content for (int j = 0; j < contentArray.Size; j++) { stream = (PRStream)contentArray.GetAsStream(j); // Convert to a String, NOTE: you might need a different encoding here content = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(PdfReader.GetStreamBytes(stream)); //Look for the OCG token in the stream as well as our watermarked text if (content.IndexOf("/OC") >= 0 && content.IndexOf(watermarkText) >= 0) { //Remove it by giving it zero length and zero data stream.Put(PdfName.LENGTH, new PdfNumber(0)); stream.SetData(new byte[0]); } } } } // Write the content out using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(unwatermarkedFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)) using (PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader2, fs)) { }
Now, we already know that, watermark cannot be add during Page creation, it have to add after document creation. So, I've created a class PDFWriterEvents
which implements the interface iTextSharp.text.pdf.IPdfPageEvent
and modify the event OnStartPage
. This interface contains a set of events from the Openning & to Closing the PDF Document. The events are following:
public void OnOpenDocument(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
public void OnCloseDocument(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
public void OnStartPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
public void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
public void OnParagraph(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition)
public void OnParagraphEnd(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition)
public void OnChapter(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition, Paragraph title)
public void OnChapterEnd(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition)
public void OnSection(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition, int depth, Paragraph title)
public void OnSectionEnd(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition)
public void OnGenericTag(PdfWriter writer, Document document, Rectangle rect, String text)
You may modify other events accroding to your needs which occured against a particular action. Let see the which I've created:
// Creating Watermark inside OnStartPage Event by implementing IPdfPageEvent interface // So that, dusring Page Creation, Watermark will be create class PDFWriterEvents : IPdfPageEvent { string watermarkText; float fontSize = 80f; float xPosition = 300f; float yPosition = 800f; float angle = 45f; public PDFWriterEvents(string watermarkText, float fontSize = 80f, float xPosition = 300f, float yPosition = 400f, float angle = 45f) { this.watermarkText = watermarkText; this.xPosition = xPosition; this.yPosition = yPosition; this.angle = angle; } public void OnOpenDocument(PdfWriter writer, Document document) { } public void OnCloseDocument(PdfWriter writer, Document document) { } public void OnStartPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document) { try { PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContentUnder; BaseFont baseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.EMBEDDED); cb.BeginText(); cb.SetColorFill(BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY); cb.SetFontAndSize(baseFont, fontSize); cb.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, watermarkText, xPosition, yPosition, angle); cb.EndText(); } catch (DocumentException docEx) { throw docEx; } } public void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document) { } public void OnParagraph(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition) { } public void OnParagraphEnd(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition) { } public void OnChapter(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition, Paragraph title) { } public void OnChapterEnd(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition) { } public void OnSection(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition, int depth, Paragraph title) { } public void OnSectionEnd(PdfWriter writer, Document document, float paragraphPosition) { } public void OnGenericTag(PdfWriter writer, Document document, Rectangle rect, String text) { } }
Lets see how & when you use the object of this class:
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream( "Watermark_During_Page_Creation.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)) using (Document doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER)) using (PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs)) { writer.PageEvent = new PDFWriterEvents("This is a Test"); doc.Open(); doc.Add(new Paragraph("This is a page 1")); doc.Close(); }
See, OnStartPage
event called during adding a new paragraph. So I don't need to add watermark later
We can create PDF File in memory by creatig System.IO.MemorySystem
's object. Lets see:
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()) using(Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 25, 25, 30, 30)) using(PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, ms)) { document.Open(); document.Add(new Paragraph("Hello World")); document.Close(); writer.Close(); ms.Close(); Response.ContentType = "pdf/application"; Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=First_PDF_document.pdf"); Response.OutputStream.Write(ms.GetBuffer(), 0, ms.GetBuffer().Length); }
The values of the different ViewerPreferences
were originally stored in iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter
class as an integer constant. You can set the ViewerPreferences
by following two ways:
ViewerPreferences
of iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter
class. To know all theViewerPreferences
and its purpose, please read this first. E.g.- writer.ViewerPreferences = PdfWriter.HideMenubar;
AddViewerPreference(PdfName key, PdfObject value)
ofiTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter
's object. To know which value
is appropiate for which key
, read thisfirst. E.g.- writer.AddViewerPreference(PdfName.HIDEMENUBAR, new PdfBoolean(true));
By SetEncryption()
method of iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter
's object, we can encrypt a PDF document. Read full documentation of this method here. To know all the encryption types, click here. E.g.-
writer.SetEncryption(PdfWriter.STRENGTH40BITS, null, null, PdfWriter.ALLOW_COPY);
Please download the source code for detail. I hope you'll understand as the source code is documented. If any doubt, just post your comment below. Thank you.
