Concept
This package includes the .NET and .NET Core assemblies required to export report to WYSIWYG PDF format.
It provides different features, like export to different PDF versions, support of encryption, support for ZUGFeRD attachments and metadata, good accessibility, AcroForms (professional license required), and others.
Note
AcroForms are not supported for Section reports with GDI mode.
License
Some PDF-related features are not available with a Standard Edition license:
- Exporting with bold font emulation. It is required to obtain WYSIWYG output in case of font fallback (if cannot find an appropriate bold font).
- Exporting with IVS character glyphs.
- Exporting with MS Windows EUDC glyphs.
- Exporting with InputFields/AcroForms (a mechanism to add editable forms to the PDF file format).
- Exporting with predefined printing properties: page scaling, duplex mode, paper source by page size, print page range, number of copies.
- Signing with Digital signature certificates.
- Adding a document Timestamp.
- Exporting to PDF/A for archival preservation.
- Making the documents compliant with "Section 508" and PDF/UA.
