Add a tiled watermark to PDF pages

This sample shows how to add a semi-transparent, rotated text watermark to every page of an existing PDF file. It demonstrates copying each source page's content into a new PDF with PdfReader, PdfWriter, and GraphicsContainer, then using TilingBrush to repeat rotated PlainText across the page as a watermark pattern.

Art text

Shows different types of art texts.

Colored Text

Renders formatted, multi-colored text onto a bitmap.

Colored Watermark

Demonstrates how to apply a colored watermark to an image using a tiling brush with text rendering.

Create Business Card

Creates business card in PDF format.

Create Multipage PDF

Draw Lists

Draws formatted text with ordered and unordered lists.

Draw Paragraphs

Draws formatted text with several paragraphs.

Draw Path

Draws path on Graphics.

Draw Spot On CMYK

Draws a text and an image on the spot channel, using the existing CMYK image as a background.

Draw text watermark on thumbnail image

This sample shows how to create a thumbnail image and draw a semi-transparent text watermark on top of it using the GraphicsMill transforms and advanced drawing APIs. It demonstrates how to resize the source image with the Resize transform, register a custom font, and render text with Drawer and PlainText. You can read more information about drawing in the documentation.

Font API

Draws text without text objects, only with getting char info + simple metrics.

Font Fallback

Draws multilanguage text with font fallback support.

Font Metrics

Adds font to FontRegistry from file and shows its metrics.

Gradient Color

Demonstrates drawing text with a gradient fill.

Lay out paragraphs, lists, and tab-aligned columns in a PDF

This sample shows how to lay out a page of formatted text directly in a PDF using BoundedText's XML-based markup: regular paragraphs with first-line indentation and paragraph spacing, a bulleted list with custom line leading, and a two-column schedule where each session's title flows from the left and its time is pushed to a right-aligned tab stop by a dot leader, the classic layout of a printed program or table of contents.

Load fonts on demand with the FontMissing event

This sample shows how to start with an empty font registry and add only the fonts a design actually uses, at the moment it asks for them. When a font is requested by a PostScript name that is not registered, CustomFontRegistry raises the FontMissing event; the handler looks the name up in the application's own font catalog and adds the file with CustomFontRegistry.Add, and the request then succeeds. A server with a large font library no longer has to parse every font at startup.

Map template font names with aliases and remove fonts

This sample shows how to keep a font registry in step with a font library that changes while the application runs. CustomFontRegistry.Add reports for every face it reads a FontAddResult with the PostScript name and a status, for example AlreadyPresent when the same file is added twice. CustomFontRegistry.AddFontAlias attaches extra names to a registered font, so templates can refer to fonts by role ("Brand-Heading") rather than by file. CustomFontRegistry.Remove unregisters a font that was deleted from the library without rebuilding the registry, and PostscriptNameCollisionPolicy decides whether a new file with an already registered PostScript name replaces the old one.
