Several issues in latest release

[MarkoZ]

I've been using the plugin to create new PDF and ran into a couple of problems. I was using these settings.

Code: Select all

            gdPDF.NewPDF(true);
            gdPDF.SetMeasurementUnit(PdfMeasurementUnit.PdfMeasurementUnitPoint);
            gdPDF.SetOrigin(PdfOrigin.PdfOriginTopLeft);

When drawing an image on PDF page with function DrawImage, DstX variable seems to be ignored. No matter which value I provide, images are always drawn at same distance from left border. Also DstY value seems to refer to lower left corner of the image, which seems inconsistent with PdfOrigin setting. Same happens when using DrawText function. DrawRectangle however uses upper left corner.

Plugin throws odd exception when drawing any of the following characters using DrawText function: š, Š, č. Č, ć, Ć, ž, Ž, đ, Đ. Since I have no such problems when drawing to image object with GdPictureImaging class, I assume the problem is in PDF plugin and not font used. In case it matters, I used "PdfStandardFont.Helvetica";

Message: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Just tried the 8.2.0 version, same settings as before. DstX parameter of DrawImage still does nothing. And DstY parameter still refers to the lower left corner of the image, even with PdfOriginTopLeft setting.

Hi,

DstX parameter of DrawImage still does nothing

Damn you are right. We forgot to fix this validate this fix. It will be on the next 8.2.1 that will be published urgently.

And DstY parameter still refers to the lower left corner of the image, even with PdfOriginTopLeft setting.

This is the normal behavior. From the reference guide:

DstX: The X destination of the bottom left corner of the bitmap in current unit.
DstY: The Y destination of the bottom left corner of the bitmap in current unit.

Kind regards,

Loïc

Found another minor issue.

PdfStandardFont.PdfStandardFontHelveticaOblique is actually bold
PdfStandardFont.PdfStandardFontHelveticaBold is bold + oblique
PdfStandardFont.PdfStandardFontHelveticaBoldOblique is just oblique

Thanks for help.

Thank you. This will be also fixed.
