Scryber.Core PDF Engine

Scryber makes creating beautiful documents easy.

The scryber engine is an advanced, complete, pdf creation library for dotnet core (including support for Blazor WASM)

It supports the easy definition of document templates with, pages, content, shapes and images using html, and svg. Bring your data in from an api or object model. Bind with handlebars syntax and full complex expression support. Layout with styles including calculated and relative values, and binding to your data. Finally with a couple of lines of code, output the document to a stream or file.

With a styles based template layout, it is easy to create good looking, paginated and flowing documents. With dynamic content from your applications or sites it is easy to add dynamic data, and repeaters.

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).

Check out the documentation for more information on how to use the library.

            var path = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory;

            using (var doc = Document.ParseDocument(path))
            {
                //pass values to the document, including css using params

                doc.Params["author"] = "Scryber Engine";
                doc.Params["--head-bg"] = "#333"; //Override for the header background
                doc.Params["--head-txt"] = "#FFF";
                
                //pass data paramters as needed, supporting simple values, arrays or complex classes.

                doc.Params["model"] = model;

                //And save it to a file or a stream
                using (var stream = new System.IO.FileStream("READMESample.pdf", System.IO.FileMode.Create))
                {
                    doc.SaveAsPDF(stream);
                }

            }
      }

Or from an MVC web application


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

      public async IActionResult HelloWorld(string title = "This is the title")
      {
          using(var doc = Document.ParseDocument("[input template]"))
          {
              doc.Params["author"] = "Scryber Engine";
              doc.Params["--head-bg"] = "#333"; //Override for the header background
              doc.Params["--head-txt"] = "#FFF";

              doc.Params["model"] = GetMyParameters(title);

              //This will output to the response inline.
              return await this.PDFAsync(doc); // inline:false, outputFileName:"HelloWorld.pdf"
          }
      }

And the output

Hello World Output
