PdfBox.Net.Core

Core .NET port of Apache PDFBox for working with PDF documents.

This package contains the main PDF model, COS objects, parser, filters, writer, text extraction, rendering entry points, form handling, annotations, and standard-security support. The package ID is PdfBox.Net.Core; the assembly and namespaces remain PdfBox.Net. It depends on PdfBox.Net.IO and PdfBox.Net.FontBox, matching the Java PDFBox module split.

Install:

dotnet add package PdfBox.Net.Core

Typical usage:

using PdfBox.Net.Loader;
using PdfBox.Net.Text;

using PDDocument document = Loader.LoadPDF("input.pdf");
string text = new PDFTextStripper().GetText(document);

Rendering needs a concrete backend package. Reference PdfBox.Net.Rendering for the supported full stack and register it at process startup. That package registers both the SkiaSharp renderer and the ImageMagick-backed image/color providers for JPX/JPEG2000, CMYK JPEG, TIFF import, and ICC conversion.

Applications that only parse, inspect, edit, save, or extract text can use PdfBox.Net.Core without the rendering package. Public-key encrypted PDFs need PdfBox.Net.Cryptography.
