MzPDF Toolkit C# Tutorial:

1. Open visual studio 2005
 

2. Create new project (visual C# , Windows application)
 

3. Open Form1.cs.

4. After using System.Windows.Forms; add
using MZDocument;


5. Add the following inside Form1 class

const double page_width_inch = 8.5;

const double page_height_inch = 11;

6. Then add the following function

public void GeneratePDF()
{
}

7. Now, we will do some work inside this function. Define PdfOptions class and fill it with PDF options:

PdfOptions pdfOptions = new PdfOptions();
pdfOptions.Title = "Rectangle docment";
pdfOptions.Subject = "Inch rectangle";
pdfOptions.Author = "Auther - me";
pdfOptions.Keywords = "Keywords ...";

pdfOptions.Pdfcompress = true;
pdfOptions.Jpgcompress = true;

pdfOptions.PdfGenerateImage = true;
pdfOptions.PdfGenerateText = true;
pdfOptions.PdfGenerateGraphics = true;

pdfOptions.PdfShowToolbar = true;
pdfOptions.PdfShowMenuBar = true;
pdfOptions.PdfShowWindowUI = true;

pdfOptions.PageNo = 2; // open PDF in page 2
pdfOptions.Version = PdfVersion.OneDotThree; //version 1.3
pdfOptions.Magnification = PdfMagnification.Custom;
pdfOptions.CustomMag = 50;
pdfOptions.PageMode = PdfPageMode.Thumbs;
pdfOptions.PageLayout = PdfPageLayout.TwoLColumn;


8. Now define MZDocument class as the following:

MZDocument.Document doc = new Document();

9. Add progress function:

doc.Progress += new EventHandler<ProgressEventArgs>(Progress2);

10. Create the document

doc.CreateDocument();

// create 3 pages so we need for loop

for(int i = 1; i <=3 ; i++)
{
    // define PDF Info
    MZDocument.PageInfo pageInfo = new PageInfo();


    // Start the page. with 8.5 by 11 inch.
    doc.StartPage(Document.LastPage, page_width_inch, page_height_inch, pageInfo, 0);

    // Calculate 1 inch rectangle .
    Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle((int)(1*pageInfo.xDPI),(int)(1*pageInfo.yDPI),(int)(1*pageInfo.xDPI),(int)(1*pageInfo.yDPI));

    // Create black pen
    Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black);

    // Draw the rectangle on the PDF DC
    pageInfo.PageGraphics.DrawRectangle(pen,rectangle);

    // Close this page
    doc.EndCurrentPage();

    // Repeated 3 times
}

// Close the document.
doc.CloseDocument();

// Generate PDF
doc.GeneratePDF("c:\\RetanglePDF.pdf", pdfOptions);

// After finish everything delete this document
doc.DeleteDocument();


11. Add progress event function

public void Progress2(object sender, ProgressEventArgs e)
{
    int currentPage = e.CurrentPageProgress;
    int total = e.CurrentPage * 100 / e.TotalPage;

    String str = String.Format("Page : {0} of {1} ", e.CurrentPage, e.TotalPage);


    Application.DoEvents();
 

       // we are setting this to false for now.

    if ( false )
        e.Cancel = true;
    else
        e.Cancel = false;
}


12. Go to references and add MZDocument.dll for win32 or MZDocumentx.dll for x64


13. Add new menu item to generate PDF then double click on it to create its function, inside this function add the following code:

GeneratePDF();

14. Run your application and click the menu item you created in step 13. Then go to C:\ drive you will find RetanglePDF.pdf document was created with the options that you've already chosen above.


Note: For x64 project, you need first to create new x64 project config from configuration manager

                  //Rectangle = pageInfo.RectPage;

                  //use page info DPI to calculate the drawing rectangle.

                  // Draw 1 inch rectangle.

                  Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle((int)(1*pageInfo.xDPI),(int)(1*pageInfo.yDPI),(int)(1*pageInfo.xDPI),(int)(1*pageInfo.yDPI));

                  Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black);

                  // close current page

              try

                  MessageBox.Show(documentException.Descreption, "Error");

              // delete document handle to clear

          catch(DocumentException documentException)

              MessageBox.Show(documentException.Descreption, "Error");
