PdfBox.Net.SkiaSharp

Complete cross-platform SkiaSharp rendering and glyph layout backend for PdfBox.Net.

Install:

dotnet add package PdfBox.Net.SkiaSharp

Register the backend once at application startup before using PDFRenderer or APIs that need bitmap/image encoding:

using PdfBox.Net.Loader;
using PdfBox.Net.Rendering;

SkiaRenderingBackend.Register();

using PDDocument document = Loader.LoadPDF("input.pdf");
BufferedImage image = new PDFRenderer(document).RenderImageWithDPI(0, 144);

For text that needs glyph shaping, register the SkiaSharp glyph layout processor on the content stream and load the Type 0 font through the processor:

using PdfBox.Net.GlyphLayout.SkiaSharp;
using PdfBox.Net.PDModel;
using PdfBox.Net.PDModel.Font;

using PDDocument document = new();
PDPage page = new();
document.AddPage(page);

using SkiaGlyphLayoutProcessor glyphLayout = new();
using Stream fontStream = File.OpenRead("NotoSans-Regular.ttf");
PDType0Font font = glyphLayout.LoadFont(document, fontStream,
    new SkiaGlyphLayoutProcessor.FontOptions()
        .SetKerningOn()
        .SetLigaturesOn());

using PDPageContentStream contents = new(document, page);
contents.BeginText();
contents.SetFont(font, 12);
contents.SetGlyphLayoutProcessor(glyphLayout);
contents.ShowText("AV office");
contents.EndText();

Glyph layout uses Unicode.Bidi and HarfBuzzSharp internally. These dependencies stay in this optional backend package; PdfBox.Net.Core continues to expose only the Java-shaped PDFBox glyph layout interfaces.

This shapes generated content streams that opt into the processor. Existing PDF page rendering still follows the glyph codes and positions already present in the PDF content stream. The processor resolves bidirectional visual runs with Unicode.Bidi before shaping each run with HarfBuzz.

This package intentionally owns the SkiaSharp dependency so the core PdfBox.Net.Core package can keep Java-shaped graphics proxy APIs without exposing SkiaSharp types directly.
