PdfBox.Net.MauiGraphics

PdfBox.Net.MauiGraphics

Optional rendering backend that proves the core Java AWT/ImageIO proxy layer can also be backed through Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.

Microsoft.Maui.Graphics is an abstraction library; bitmap export requires a concrete implementation. This package uses Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.Skia, so it is a Maui.Graphics backend rather than a Skia-free backend. The Skia dependency is still isolated in this optional package and does not leak into PdfBox.Net core APIs.

This package currently implements:

• BufferedImage pixel storage through SkiaBitmapExportContext
• Graphics2D basic clear, image draw, and transform operations on the Maui.Graphics bitmap export surface
• Image decode/encode for PNG and JPEG through Maui.Graphics IImage

It intentionally does not yet implement a full PageDrawer equivalent. Calling PDF page rendering with this backend throws a clear NotSupportedException. PdfBox.Net.SkiaSharp remains the complete cross-platform rendering backend.

Install:

dotnet add package PdfBox.Net.MauiGraphics

Register the backend once at application startup when you want Microsoft.Maui.Graphics to back the Java AWT/ImageIO proxy APIs for supported image operations.
