在 Silverlight 中创建 PDF 文档

Question

I need to convert an excel file to save/display as a PDF document. This is in Silverlight Application. PDF document will be generated dynamically. The PDF document will contain plain text. I tried to download the nuget package.

The PDFSharp Library mentioned in one of the posts helped, How to create PDF on Silverlight 4

I had to look for an older version which is compatible with silverlight. My application is using .net framework 4. Would anyone know where I could find the dll for PDFSharp? I am unable to install using the nuget package.

Message: Add reference problem in silverlight: You can't add a reference to dll as it was not built against the silverlight runtime

Error:

Install-Package: Could not install package 'PDFsharp-sl 1.50.4000-beta3b'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Thank you,

It looks as if you took the Silverlight version of the library, but attempted to add it to a project that does not compile against Silverlight.

You have two options:

• Use the NuGet package for Silverlight
• Download the PDFsharp source code and reference the projects for Silverlight

The second approach can be helpful for debugging and allows you to change the Silverlight version compiled for.
