scryber.core

Make documents easily.

The scryber engine is an advanced, complete, pdf creation library for dotnet core. It supports the easy definition of documents, pages, content, shapes and images either by xml templates or simple code.

With a styles based layout it is easy to create good looking and flowing documents. Binding in xml allows you to quickly load data from many sources 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

scryber.core.mvc package (Which includes the scryber.core package).

The full documentation is available here

Just a bit more than a hello world example.

Create your template pdfx (xml) file.

Or using XHTML


    <!DOCTYPE HTML >
    <html lang='en' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' >
        <head>
            <meta charset='utf-8' name='author' content='Richard Hewitson' />

                }
            </style>
        </head>
        <body>
            <header>
                <p class="header">Scryber document creation</p>
            </header>
            <div style="padding:10pt" >

            </div>
        </body>
    </html>

From your application code.


      //using Scryber.Components

      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
          using(var doc = Document.ParseDocument("[input template]"))
          {
              doc.Params["model"] = new
                {
                    Title = "This is the title",
                    TitleStyle = "color:red;"
                };
              
              doc.ProcessDocument("[output file].pdf");
          }
      }

Or from an MVC web application


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

      public IActionResult HelloWorld(string title = "This is the title")
      {
          using(var doc = Document.ParseDocument("[input template]"))
          {
              doc.Params["model"] = new
                {
                    Title = title,
                    TitleStyle = "color:red;"
                };
              
              return this.PDF(doc); // inline:false, outputFileName:"HelloWorld.pdf"
          }
      }

And the output
