EgoPDF.Generator

C# port of FPDF with bug fixes and modern additions (SkiaSharp-driven font metrics, embedded TrueType fonts with valid PDF descriptors, page-size and image helpers).

If you also need to render Zebra ZPL labels to PDF, add the companion preview package EgoPDF.Barcodes.

Quick start

using Ego.PDF;
using Ego.PDF.Data;

using var pdf = new FPdf("hello.pdf");
pdf.AddPage(PageSizeEnum.A4);
pdf.SetFont("Helvetica", "B", 24);
pdf.Cell(0, 10, "Hello from EgoPDF!");
pdf.Close();

That writes a one-page A4 PDF with the text in Helvetica-Bold. The PDF core fonts (Helvetica, Courier, Times) are never embedded; load a TTF with pdf.LoadFont("RobotoSlab", "path/to/RobotoSlab-Regular.ttf"); and pdf.AddFont("RobotoSlab", ""); to embed a custom face.

What's in the box

  • The full FPDF API (text, lines, rectangles, cells, multi-cell, images, links, font scale, page sizes / orientations).
  • SkiaSharp-based metrics for embedded TrueType fonts — no .php tool generation step needed, just hand LoadFont a .ttf path.
  • Embedded fonts emit valid PDF descriptors (PostScript-safe BaseFont names, real FontBBox, non-zero StemV, italic / bold / monospace flags) so Acrobat in strict mode accepts them.
  • Image embedding for PNG / JPEG / GIF, with on-the-fly format detection via Skia codecs.

Targets

  • net8.0
  • net9.0

2.3.1: tiny ^FO + R-rotated text padding tweak in WriteRotatedTextZpl. When the caller passes useTopLeftBboxAnchor=true (Barcodes engine's ^FO ^A?R path), the baseline column now sits ~30% of the font ascent to the right of the FO point instead of flush against it. Matches Labelary's spacing on the SEUR 1485 portrait label, where the previous baseline-on-FO was visibly cramped against the rotated ascender of letters like P / W / A. ^FT-anchored fields (useTopLeftBboxAnchor=false) keep the unpadded baseline so rotated-bar caption helpers stay in the column their caller picked. 2.3.0: five fixes that stop Acrobat from offering to "save the repaired file" every time you open one of our PDFs. (1) /CreationDate was rendered with the PHP date format "YmdHis" copy-pasted into DateTime.ToString, which produced unparseable values like "D:Y4721i12"; now emits a spec-compliant "D:yyyyMMddHHmmss+OH'mm'" stamp (PDF 1.7 §7.9.4). (2) After "%PDF-1.3" we now emit the recommended comment line with four 0x80+ bytes so the file is unambiguously binary (§7.5.2). (3) The trailer gains a /ID [<hash><hash>] entry (§14.4) -- Acrobat treats trailers without /ID as needing repair. (4) Empty "/XObject <<>>" dictionaries in Resources are now omitted when the page has no XObjects. (5) Xref entries are zero-padded ("0000000211 00000 n ") instead of space-padded, matching §7.5.4 verbatim. 2.2.1 had three earlier bug fixes (AutoFlush on the file-backed constructor, FontScale.Default mutation leak, Sample3 footer font size).
