Create Adobe PDF documents from your apps using ComponentOne PDF™ for Silverlight. The commands provided for adding content to documents are similar to the ones available in the .NET Graphics class. PDF for Silverlight gives you security, compression, outlining, hyper-linking, and attachments.
One of the main features in the C1PdfDocument class is its ease of use. The commands provided for adding content to documents are similar to the ones available in the WinForms Graphics class. If you know how to display text and graphics in WinForms, then you already know how to use C1PdfDocument.
C1PdfDocument uses a Point-based coordinate system with the origin at the top-left corner of the page. This is similar to the default coordinate system used by .NET, but is different from the default PDF coordinate system (where the origin is on the bottom-left corner of the page).
C1PdfDocument supports many advanced features included in the PDF specification, including security, compression, outlining, hyper-linking, and file attachments.
The main limitation of the Silverlight version is that it only supports the Acrobat Reader built-in fonts: Times, Helvetica, Courier, and Symbol. This is because embedding other fonts types would require access to font outline information which is not available to Silverlight. In future versions, we may add support for downloading this information from the server. Acrobat Forms and text annotations are also not supported at this time.
