LumasPDF.Net

Cross-platform .NET binding for the LumasPDF engine, with pre-compiled native binaries for Windows, Linux and macOS in one package.

Supported runtimes

Platform Architectures
Windows x64, x86, ARM64
Linux x64, ARM64 (glibc)
macOS universal (x86_64 + arm64)

Target frameworks

net48, net5.0, net6.0, net7.0, net8.0, net9.0, net10.0.

All seven ship the same netstandard2.0 assembly: the binding is pure P/Invoke with no per-framework code.

Getting started

using LumasPdfSdk;

IntPtr pdf = LumasPdf.pdfNewPDF();
LumasPdf.pdfCreateNewPDFW(pdf, @"out.pdf");
LumasPdf.pdfAppend(pdf);
LumasPdf.pdfSetFontW(pdf, "Helvetica", 0, 24.0, false, TCodepage.cp1252);
LumasPdf.pdfWriteFTextExW(pdf, 50, 50, 500, 100, 0, "Hello from LumasPDF");
LumasPdf.pdfEndPage(pdf);
LumasPdf.pdfCloseFile(pdf);
LumasPdf.pdfDeletePDF(pdf);

How the native library is resolved

The binding declares its imports against the extension-less name LumasPdf, so the .NET runtime expands it per platform:

Platform File loaded
Windows LumasPdf.dll
Linux libLumasPdf.so
macOS libLumasPdf.dylib

On .NET 5 and later, the correct binary is selected automatically from the package's runtimes/<rid>/native/ folders — no project changes needed.

.NET Framework 4.8 does not use that mechanism, so the package also ships build/LumasPDF.Net.targets, which copies the right Windows native DLL into your output directory at build time. It selects on RuntimeIdentifier when one is set, and otherwise on PlatformTarget (x86 gets the 32-bit engine, anything else gets the 64-bit one).

Notes

  • The macOS binary is a single universal file; both osx-x64 and osx-arm64 consumers resolve to it.
  • On macOS, digital signing through the Apple CMSEncoder backend supports SHA-256 only. Requesting SHA-384 or SHA-512 there returns a failure rather than silently producing a weaker SHA-256 signature. The OpenSSL and Windows CryptoAPI backends support all three.
  • Linux binaries are built against glibc.

Version Downloads Last Updated
4.2.3 101 9/10/2026
4.2.2 94 9/9/2026

4.2.3: PDF/A-1b conformance fixes (XMP dc:title mirrors the Info title; embedded CID font subsets carry a /CIDSet stream) and one legacy alias export removed (use pdfGetLumasPDFVersion). Same engine build as the 4.2.3 SDK download (Windows x64/x86/ARM64, Linux x64/ARM64, macOS universal). Notes: https://www.lumaspdf.com/releases/4.2.3
