The dotnet core scryber pdf creation library

Scryber PDF Library

The scryber library is an advanced, complete, document creation library for dotnet 5. It supports the easy definition of documents, pages, content, shapes and images by xml template, html and css, or simple code.

With a styles based layout it is easy to create good looking and flowing documents. Binding in your models and datasources allows you to quickly generate the template and output to pdf.

Getting Started

The easiest way to begin is to use the Nuget Packages here

scryber.core package (Base libraries for GUI or console applications)

OR for asp.net mvc

Hello World Plus

Just a bit more than a hello world example.

Create your template pdfx (xml) file.


      <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
      <doc:Document xmlns:doc='http://www.scryber.co.uk/schemas/core/release/v1/Scryber.Components.xsd'
                    xmlns:styles='http://www.scryber.co.uk/schemas/core/release/v1/Scryber.Styles.xsd'
                    xmlns:data='http://www.scryber.co.uk/schemas/core/release/v1/Scryber.Data.xsd' >
        <Params>
          <doc:String-Param id='Title' value='Hello World'  />
        </Params>
        <Styles>
          <styles:Style match='doc:Page'>
            <styles:Font family='Arial' size='14pt' />
          </styles:Style>

          <styles:Style match='.heading' >
            <styles:Fill color='#FF7777'/>
            <styles:Text decoration='Underline'/>
          </styles:Style>
      
        </Styles>
        <Pages>

          <doc:Page styles:margins='20pt'>
            <Content>
              <doc:H1 styles:class='heading' text='{@:Title}' />
              <doc:Div>We hope you like scryber.</pdf:Div>

            </Content>
          </doc:Page>
        </Pages>

      </doc:Document>

From your application code.


      //using Scryber.Components

      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
          using(var doc = Document.ParseDocument("[input template].pdfx"))
          {
              doc.Params["Title"] = "Hello World from Scryber";
              var page = doc.Pages[0] as Page;
              page.Contents.Add(new Label(){ Text = "My Content" });
              doc.SaveAsPDF("[output file].pdf");
          }
      }

Or from an MVC web application


      //using Scryber.Components
      //using Scryber.Components.Mvc

      public IActionResult HelloWorld(string title = "Hello World from Scryber")
      {
        using(var doc = Document.ParseDocument("[input template].pdfx"))
          {
              doc.Params["Title"] = title;
              var page = doc.Pages[0] as Page;
              page.Contents.Add(new Label(){ Text = "My Content" });
          
              return this.PDF(doc); // inline:false, outputFileName:"HelloWorld.pdf"
          }
      }

And the output

Hello World Output
