using System.Diagnostics;
namespace HelloWorld
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create main PDF Doc Engine
PDFDocEngine engine = new PDFDocEngine("", "");
// Add new document
Document document = engine.AddDocument();
// Append new page to the document
Page page = document.AddPage(PageSizeType.A3, PageOrientationType.LandScape);
// Create new drawing
Drawing drawing = page.AddDrawing();
// font size constant
const int fontSize = 50;
// Create array with font types
string[] fontNames = new string[] {
"Arial",
"Tahoma",
"Book Antiqua"
};
// X position of the text to draw
int textX = 10;
// Y position of the text to draw
int textY = 50;
// Draw all font types
foreach (string fontName in fontNames)
{
// Add standard font
uint font = document.AddFontTrueType(fontName, false, false);
// Set Active Font
drawing.SetActiveFont(font, fontSize, false, false);
// Draw Text
drawing.PlaceText(textX, textY, 0, fontName);
// Increase position of the next text
textY += fontSize + 20;
}
// Save document
document.Save("FontsFromFontName.pdf");
// open generated PDF document in default PDF viewer installed in Windows
Process.Start("FontsFromFontName.pdf");
}
}
