marcoregueira / EgoPDF

Port of FPDF to C# and utility library. Translation has been made using automated tools, so it needs more refactoring and is not ready for real use.

Hello, can you specify the license for EgoPDF? I would be interested in contributing, but only with a permissive license for commercial use. Please let me know, Thank you.

License added. I will add it properly to the code later.

Thanks!

Hi. Just to be sincere, egopdf source code is quite bad, it is an automated port from the original library. The parts where I modified something are easy to find, and it works, as far as I can tell. I had no resharper at the time, it would really have made a difference.

I'm aware of the existence of a "manual" port of the same library to Visual Basic. It seems a lot more clear and better done. It is VB, but if you link the assembly you will likely not notice the difference (I have to say I checked the code once, but never used it).

https://sourceforge.net/projects/fpdfnet/

Anyway, the original license of FPDF is quite permissive and it allows for any use.

Hello,

Thank you for all the information. I may make some corrections anyway, and I will commit them if I do.

Could you tell me what kind of tool you used to port the code? I would like to port the FPDI library, if I can.

Thank you, Christos

Hi

I've used this:

http://www.asp.net/downloads/archived-v11/migration-assistants/php-to-aspnet http://www.asp.net/downloads/archived-v11/migration-assistants/php-to-aspnet/overview

After conversion, code looked strange but it worked (mostly). I needed to do a small number of fixes and more importantly, implement the parts that were missing, like image support. No GD of course.
