TrueType fonts

Library can read and use ttf fonts located with the application or in typical OS forldes. For speed considerations, the filename of the font must be used.

crcPdf pdf = new crcPdf();
pdf.Catalog.Pages
  .AddPage()                        
     .SetFont("OpenSans-Regular", 12)
     .SetPosition(10, 15)
     .AddLabel("Hello World");

TrueType subsetings / embedding fonts

Maybe you want to include the font inside the Pdf or you want to use unicode characters, so the font must be included inside the Pdf:

crcPdf pdf = new crcPdf();
pdf.Catalog.Pages
  .AddPage()                        
     .SetFont("OpenSans-Regular", 12, Embedded.Yes)
     .SetPosition(10, 15)
     .AddLabel("Α α:Alpha. Β β: Beta. Γ γ: Gamma. Δ δ: Delta");

Images

Includes an image.

crcPdf pdf = new crcPdf();
pdf.Catalog.Pages
  .AddPage()        
                             // widh, 0, 0, height, X, Y
    .CurrentTransformationMatrix(300, 0, 0, 500, 50, 100)
