MigraDoc creates documents (PDF and others) on the fly
EZFontResolver implements the IFontResolver interface that PDFsharp uses.
In your program, you simply call the AddFont method of EZFontResolver. You simply pass the filename of your font or a byte array containing the font data. Continue reading EZFontResolver: a generic font resolver for PDFsharp and MigraDoc
I revisited my VB.NET sample for MigraDoc, but this time achieving the same and more using my new MigraDoc Made EZR library. Achieve the same document, but with fewer lines of code. And in my humble opinion those lines are even easier to read (and to write). Continue reading MigraDoc Made EZR: VB.NET Sample that creates PDF file
Earlier versions of MigraDoc up to version 1.32 included the class MigraDocPrintDocument that allows MigraDoc to print directly.
This class can also be used with MigraDoc 1.50 beta 2. Continue reading Printing with MigraDoc 1.50 beta 2
Using MigraDoc was always easy, of course.
Currently I am working on a library that makes using MigraDoc even easier. Working title is “MigraDoc Made EZR”. In this post I show you some examples. Continue reading Using MigraDoc was never easier – “MigraDoc Made EZR”
Note: The FontResolver interface has changed between PDFsharp 1.50 beta 1 and PDFsharp 1.50 beta 2. This post describes the new solution for PDFsharp 1.50 beta 2 and later versions.
PDFsharp 1.50 implements a new mechanism for private fonts (fonts that are not installed on the system). You simply implement IFontResolver and assign this to a global property:
// That's all it takes to register your own fontresolver GlobalFontSettings.FontResolver = new DemoFontResolver();
The interesting part is IFontResolver and how you implement it.

Not many Visual Basic samples come with PDFsharp and MigraDoc. As the name PDFsharp implies, those libraries were developed by C# fans.
Here is a Visual Basic sample for MigraDoc. It should be enough to help you understand the C# samples for MigraDoc and translate them to Visual Basic when needed. Continue reading MigraDoc: Visual Basic .NET Sample
Let’s face it: as of today it sometimes takes a few seconds to create a PDF for a MigraDoc document, especially if the document contains many tables.
A nice progress bar will prevent users from pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del to kill a presumably hung application. I’ll show you how this can be done. Continue reading MigraDoc: Show Progress While Rendering a Document
Note: The FontResolver interface has changed between PDFsharp 1.50 beta 1 and PDFsharp 1.50 beta 2. This post describes the obsolete solution for PDFsharp 1.50 beta 1.
Sample code for PDFsharp 1.50 beta 2.
PDFsharp 1.50 beta 1 implements a new mechanism for private fonts (fonts that are not installed on the system). You simply implement IFontResolver and assign this to a global property:
// That's all it takes to register your own fontresolver GlobalFontSettings.FontResolver = new DemoFontResolver();
The interesting part is IFontResolver and how you implement it.
