About

This (C#) library allows you to create sheets of identical labels (such as Avery labels) as a PDF using .NET.

The code uses iTextSharp to create the PDFs (http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/).

Usage

// Create the required label
var label = new SharpPDFLabel.Labels.A4Labels.Avery.L7654();

// Create a LabelCreator, passing the required label
var labelCreator = new SharpPDFLabel.LabelCreator(label);

//Add content to the labels

//images
labelCreator.AddImage(myImageAsAStream);

//text
labelCreator.AddText("Some Text", "Verdana", 12, embedFont: true);
labelCreator.AddText("Some more text with bold and underlined text", "Verdana", 12, true, SharpPDFLabel.Enums.FontStyle.BOLD, SharpPDFLabel.Enums.FontStyle.UNDERLINE);


//Create the PDF as a stream
var pdfStream = labelCreator.CreatePDF();


//Do something with it!
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=sheet_of_labels.pdf");
return new FileStreamResult(pdfStream, "application/pdf");

Adding more labels

Extra labels are simply added by deriving from the Label class like so:

(all dimensions and margins are specified in mm)

namespace SharpPDFLabel.Labels.A4Labels.Avery
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Dimensions: 63.5mm x 38.1mm 
	/// Per Sheet: 21 per sheet 
	/// Inkjet code: J8160
	/// </summary>
	public class L7160 : Label
	{
		public L7160()
		{
			_Width = 63.5;
			_Height = 38.1;
			_HorizontalGapWidth = 2.5;
			_VerticalGapHeight = 0;
			
			_PageMarginTop = 15.1;
			_PageMarginBottom = 15.1;
			_PageMarginLeft = 7.2;
			_PageMarginRight = 7.2;

			PageSize = Enums.PageSize.A4;
			LabelsPerRow = 3;
			LabelRowsPerPage = 7;
		}
	}
}
