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/).
// 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");
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;
}
}
}
