Aspose.Pdf for .NET 4.0.0.0 Released

forever — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 21:12:00 GMT

In this release, the feature 'PDF Linearization' (sometimes called 'Web Optimized' or 'Fast Web View') is supported. The idea behind linearization is faster display of PDF documents downloaded from the web. If you're developing a Web-based system that creates large PDF files for delivery to web browsers over the Internet, you should try to make sure that your system can generate linearized PDF files. As your users might become frustrated and impatient if your system creates large PDF files that are not linearized. In addition, we have optimized the performance and memory usage for large table processing. Mirror margin feature in MS Word is supported when converting doc into PDF. Importing PDF file into Corel Draw is also supported in this release. Besides, some bugs are fixed.

Introduction

Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services fulfills a need that many organizations are faced with—the need to build business intelligence and reporting solutions. Until now, developers were required to embed reports into their applications, or organizations were required to purchase expensive and sometimes problematic third-party reporting solutions. Now, Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services offer a complete solution for distributing reports across the enterprise; enabling businesses to make decisions better and faster.

Aspose.Pdf for Reporting Services is another unique solution from Aspose, that makes possible generating PDF reports in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005 Reporting Services. All RDL report features, including tables, matrices, charts and images are converted with the highest degree of precision to PDF.

Adding glossary in Aspose.Pdf for .Net

forever — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 13:38:00 GMT

Although glossary is not supported directly in Aspose.Pdf for .Net, it is possible to create glossary using the #$REFPAGE symbol. Here is an example:

[c#]

   //create Pdf and set license
   Pdf pdf = new Pdf();
   Aspose.Pdf.License lic = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
   lic.SetLicense(@"D:\CSharp\Test\License\Aspose.Custom.lic.xml");
   pdf.IsTruetypeFontMapCached = true;
   pdf.TruetypeFontMapPath = @"d:\test";

//create new section
Section sec1 = pdf.Sections.Add();

   //create tables and add data
   Table table1 = new Table();
   table1.ColumnWidths = "200 100";
   sec1.Paragraphs.Add(table1);

   Row row1 = table1.Rows.Add();
   Cell cell1 = row1.Cells.Add();
   Heading heading1 = new Heading(pdf,sec1,1);
   heading1.Segments.Add("KeyWord1: this is key word 1");
   heading1.ID = "KeyWord1";
   cell1.Paragraphs.Add(heading1);

Cell cell2 = row1.Cells.Add("cell 2");

   //create another table
   table1 = new Table();
   table1.ColumnWidths = "200 100";
   table1.IsFirstParagraph = true;
   sec1.Paragraphs.Add(table1);

   row1 = table1.Rows.Add();
   cell1 = row1.Cells.Add();
   heading1 = new Heading(pdf,sec1,1);
   heading1.Segments.Add("KeyWord2: this is key word 2");
   heading1.ID = "KeyWord2";
   cell1.Paragraphs.Add(heading1);

cell2 = row1.Cells.Add("cell 2");

   //add glossary
   Text glossary = new Text("Glossary");
   glossary.IsFirstParagraph = true;
   glossary.TextInfo.FontSize = 20;
   glossary.TextInfo.Alignment = AlignmentType.Center;
   sec1.Paragraphs.Add(glossary);

   Text item1 = new Text("KeyWord1#$TAB#$REFPAGE(KeyWord1)");
   item1.TabStops = new TabStops();
   TabStop stop1 = item1.TabStops.Add(380,TabLeaderType.Dot);
   sec1.Paragraphs.Add(item1);

   Text item2 = new Text("KeyWord2#$TAB#$REFPAGE(KeyWord2)");
   item2.TabStops = new TabStops();
   TabStop stop2 = item2.TabStops.Add(380,TabLeaderType.Dot);
   sec1.Paragraphs.Add(item2);

pdf.Save("d:/test/test.pdf");

[VB.NET]

        pdf.TruetypeFontMapPath = "d:\test"

'create new section

        'create tables and add data
        Dim table1 As Table = New Table
        table1.ColumnWidths = "200 100"
        sec1.Paragraphs.Add(table1)

        Dim row1 As Row = table1.Rows.Add()
        Dim cell1 As Cell = row1.Cells.Add()

        sec1.Paragraphs.Add(glossary)

        Dim item1 As Text = New Text("KeyWord1#$TAB#$REFPAGE(KeyWord1)")
        item1.TabStops = New TabStops

This is the new location for the Aspose.Pdf Blog

forever — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 03:26:00 GMT

This is the new URL for Aspose.Pdf Blog.

The old Aspose.Pdf blog for .Net and old Aspose.Pdf for Java can still be accessed. We will soon copy all articles from the old blog to this new blog. In order to make the blog clear, we begin to use "product" and "team" blog and not "personal" blog anymore.
