Enhancements
HTML to PDF conversion is one of the most widely used and liked feature by our customers and with every new release, we are trying our best to make it more stable and captivating, so that it caters all most all of the scenarios in which our customers use our API. One of the customers recently requested a feature to provide the support for absolute value of CSS position property and in this new release, we are excited to announce that our API now fully supports absolute positioning for CSS objects.
With this new release, we get the power to set the font for complete document and all this can be achieved using a single property DefaultTextState.
// instantiate TextState instance
TextState textState = new TextState();
// specify the bold variant of Arial font from Font Repository
textState.Font = FontRepository.FindFont("Arial", FontStyles.Bold);
// create a new document instance
Document doc = new Document();
// set the default text state for whole document
doc.PageInfo.DefaultTextState = textState;
// add blank page to pages collection of PDF file
Page page = doc.Pages.Add();
// add a textfragment to paragraphs collection of PDF file
page.Paragraphs.Add(new TextFragment("Some bold arial text"));
// save the PDF file
doc.Save(outFile);When adding RadioButtonField to PDF document, we need to specify the page number on which it will be rendered. However when creating a PDF file dynamically where we are not entirely certain about the number of pages a PDF document will be comprised of, we cannot specify the exact page number to render the control. So in order to cater such scenarios, we have introduced a new overload of RadioButtonField constructor which takes Document object as an argument.
