Description

This tutorial demonstrates a sample approach how to generate a PDF document from a collection of images located in a local folder.

Solution

To create the PDF document, we will use a [RadFixedDocumentEditor]({%slug radpdfprocessing-editing-radfixeddocumenteditor%}) which generates the document in a flow-like manner. The editor provides methods that enable the generation of documents, which automatically flows to pages.

         private static void GeneratePdfFromImagesWithRadFixedDocumentEditor(string imageFolderPath)
        {
            Padding pageMarginsValue = new Padding(
                Unit.MmToDip(20),//left
                 Unit.MmToDip(0),//top
                  Unit.MmToDip(0),//right
                   Unit.MmToDip(0));//bottom
            Size pageSize = new Size(Unit.MmToDip(210), Unit.MmToDip(297));
            RadFixedDocument fixedDocument = new RadFixedDocument();
            RadFixedDocumentEditor documentEditor = new RadFixedDocumentEditor(fixedDocument);
            documentEditor.SectionProperties.PageSize = pageSize;
            documentEditor.SectionProperties.PageMargins = pageMarginsValue;
            string[] imageFiles = Directory.GetFiles(imageFolderPath);

            foreach (string imageFilePath in imageFiles)
            {
                FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(imageFilePath, FileMode.Open);
                Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Resources.ImageSource _imageSource = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Resources.ImageSource(fileStream);
                documentEditor.InsertImageInline(_imageSource);
                documentEditor.InsertLineBreak();
            }
            documentEditor.Dispose();

            PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
            string outputFilePath = @"..\..\sample.pdf";
            File.Delete(outputFilePath);
            using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(outputFilePath))
            {
                provider.Export(fixedDocument, output);
            }
            Process.Start(outputFilePath);
        }
