Download Demo Application
|
|
|
|
The ZIP package available for download from the link below includes an ASP.NET demo application project with complete C# source code covering all major library features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running the samples in the demo application that involve HTML to PDF conversion features on Linux platforms might require installing some dependency packages. The documentation includes an entire section dedicated to building, publishing and running the demo application on multiple platforms.
|
|
 |
|
NuGet Packages
|
|
|
|
The RTF to PDF Converter is distributed as part of the
EvoPdf.Next.RtfToPdf.AddOn
NuGet package and must be installed together with
EvoPdf.Next.HtmlToPdf.Windows
or
EvoPdf.Next.HtmlToPdf.Linux
to enable RTF to PDF conversion in your application, depending on the deployment target.
As an alternative, you can reference the
EvoPdf.Next.Windows
or
EvoPdf.Next.Linux
metapackages for all components which is a more convenient option if you are also
using other components of the library.
There is also a multiplatform metapackage
EvoPdf.Next
that references all the EvoPdf Next Library components for both Windows and Linux platforms.

Installation
|
|
|
|
The RTF to PDF Converter is implemented as an AddOn for the EvoPdf Next HTML to PDF Converter for .NET
component and they must be referenced together in the same project, generally through a NuGet metapackage which installs both the HTML to PDF Converter NuGet
package and the RTF to PDF Converter AddOn.
The HTML to PDF Converter component uses a platform specific runtime.
On Windows platforms, the runtime generally does not require the installation of additional dependencies.
On Linux platforms installing some dependency packages might be necessary, depending on the exact version of Linux you are using.
In online documentation in
the Getting Started and Publish guides you can find instructions about Linux dependencies installation on a variety of Linux platforms.

EvoPdf.Next Namespace
|
|
|
|
All components of the EvoPdf Next for .NET library share the same
EvoPdf.Next
namespace and can be used together in the same application.
To use the library in your own code, add the using directive at the top of your C# source file, as shown below.
|
|
// add this using statement at the top of your C# file
using EvoPdf.Next;
|
|
 |
|
C# Code Sample |
|
|
You can use the sample code below to convert an RTF document to a PDF document that you can either save to a file
or send to the browser for download.
|
|
// Create an RTF to PDF converter object with default settings
RtfToPdfConverter rtfToPdfConverter = new RtfToPdfConverter();
// Convert RTF file to a PDF in a memory buffer
byte[] outPdfBuffer = rtfToPdfConverter.ConvertFileToPdf(rtfFilePath);
