Aspose.PDF FOSS per .NET è una libreria con licenza MIT per la creazione e la gestione di documenti PDF in C# e .NET. Il punto di ingresso centrale è la classe Document, che supporta la costruzione a partire da percorso file, array di byte, stream o fonti protette da password, ed espone le operazioni Open, Save, Merge, Encrypt, Decrypt e Convert su tutta la specifica PDF.
La libreria espone 805 classi che coprono la struttura del documento tramite Document, Page e PageCollection; ricche annotazioni attraverso AnnotationCollection (inclusi AddTextAnnotation, AddLinkAnnotation, AddHighlightAnnotation, AddWatermarkAnnotation e AddRedactAnnotation); moduli interattivi con Form, ButtonField, CheckboxField, RadioButtonField e ChoiceField; estrazione e ricerca del testo tramite TextFragmentAbsorber e TextFragment; rilevamento delle tabelle con AbsorbedTable, AbsorbedRow e AbsorbedCell; e sicurezza del documento tramite Document.Encrypt e Document.Decrypt. La conversione di formato supporta l’importazione di HTML, SVG e Markdown insieme all’esportazione PDF.
Installa Aspose.PDF FOSS per .NET da NuGet: dotnet add package Aspose.Pdf.Foss --version 0.1.0-alpha. La libreria è interamente con licenza MIT senza costi di runtime o restrizioni d’uso. Per le funzionalità enterprise e il supporto, consulta Aspose.PDF for .NET — Enterprise Product.
Document() or open existing files via Document.Open(path), Document.Open(data), or Document.Open(stream).PageCollection. Each Page exposes Width, Height, MediaBox, rotation, and Annotations.Document.Merge(documents) or Document.MergeDocuments(files). Import specific pages with Document.ImportPage and Document.ImportPages.DocumentInfo and Document.GetOrCreateMetadata().Document.Save(filename), Document.Save(stream, format), or Document.ToArray().Document instance and populating pages with content.Document.ImportPage and the Page API.Document.MergeDocuments.AnnotationCollection exposes methods for text, link, highlight, underline, strikeout, square, circle, line, ink, stamp, caret, redact, watermark, polygon, and polyline annotations.AddLinkAnnotation(rect, uri) or internal page-jump links with AddLinkAnnotation(rect, destinationPage, destRect).Document.Form to enumerate or create ButtonField, CheckboxField, RadioButtonField, and ChoiceField instances.AnnotationSelector with per-type Visit overloads.AnnotationFlags.AddRedactAnnotation.AddWatermarkAnnotation and AddStampAnnotation.TextFragmentAbsorber to locate all text fragments on a page or across a document, with optional phrase matching.TextFragment exposes Text, Position, TextState (font, size, colour), and bounding rectangle.TextFragmentState provides access to Font, FontSize, ForegroundColor, BackgroundColor, and rendering mode.AbsorbedTable, AbsorbedRow, and AbsorbedCell, each providing Rect and TextFragments.AbsorbedTable to parse tabular row-and-column data from financial PDFs.Document.Encrypt(userPassword, ownerPassword, permissions, algorithm) using Algorithm.AESx128, AESx256, or RC4x128.DocumentPrivilege.Document.ChangePasswords.Document.Decrypt().Signature and Algorithm types.DocumentPrivilege to prevent copying.Open an existing PDF, attach a URI link annotation to page 1, and persist the result.
using Aspose.Pdf;
var data = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("input.pdf");
using var doc = Document.Open(data);
var page = doc.Pages[1];
var action = PdfAction.CreateUri("https://aspose.com");
page.Annotations.AddLinkAnnotation(
new Rectangle(50, 700, 200, 720), action);
using var ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
doc.Save(ms);
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("output.pdf", ms.ToArray());
Stamp a watermark onto page 1 of an existing document and round-trip through serialization.
using Aspose.Pdf;
var input = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("report.pdf");
using var doc = Document.Open(input);
doc.Pages[1].Annotations.AddWatermarkAnnotation(
new Rectangle(0, 0, 612, 792), "CONFIDENTIAL");
var saved = doc.ToArray();
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("watermarked.pdf", saved);
Use TextFragmentAbsorber to enumerate all text fragments on the first page.
using Aspose.Pdf;
using Aspose.Pdf.Text;
var data = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("document.pdf");
using var doc = Document.Open(data);
var absorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber();
absorber.Visit(doc.Pages[1]);
foreach (var fragment in absorber.TextFragments)
{
Console.WriteLine(fragment.Text);
