iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core
======================
[](https://github.com/VahidN/iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core)
`iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core` is an **unofficial** port of the last [LGPL version](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.0-standalone.html) of the [iTextSharp (V4.1.6)](https://github.com/itextsharper/iTextSharp-4.1.6) to .NET Core.
Install via NuGet
-----------------
To install iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core, run the following command in the Package Manager Console:
[](http://www.nuget.org/packages/iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core/)
```
PM> Install-Package iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core
```
You can also view the [package page](http://www.nuget.org/packages/iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core/) on NuGet.
## Linux (and containers) support
The `SkiaSharp` library needs extra dependencies to work on Linux and containers. Please install the following NuGet packages:
```
PM> Install-Package SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux.NoDependencies
PM> Install-Package HarfBuzzSharp.NativeAssets.Linux
```
You also need to modify your `.csproj` file to include some MSBuild directives that ensure the required files are in a good place. These extra steps are normally not required but seems to be some issues on how .NET loads them.
```xml
```

FAQ
-----------------
> The pdf is created, but when I try to view it, it says that the document is in use by another process.
You should dispose the FileStream/MemoryStream [explicitly](https://github.com/VahidN/iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core/blob/master/src/iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core.FunctionalTests/iTextExamples/Chapter11Tests.cs#L69). It won't be closed and disposed automatically at the end.
> I can't find what would be the equivalent of the PdfTextExtractor class.
PdfTextExtractor exists in v5.0.2+ with AGPL license (Current project is based on the iTextSharp 4.x, not 5.x).
> It can't display Unicode characters.
You can find more samples about how to define and use Unicode fonts [here](https://github.com/VahidN/iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core/blob/master/src/iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core.FunctionalTests/iTextExamples/Chapter11Tests.cs).
> Table rowspans don't work correctly.
This version which is based on iTextSharp V4.1.6 doesn't support rowspans correctly (iTextSharp supports row spans correctly since v5.4.3, not before that). A solution based on the current version: use `nested tables` to simulate it.
> iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker does not exist.
It has been renamed to [HtmlWorker](https://github.com/VahidN/iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core/blob/master/src/iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core.FunctionalTests/HtmlWorkerTests.cs#L42).
Licensing
---------
You have three license choices when it comes to iTextSharp: LGPL/MPL, AGPL, or a commercial license. The LGPL/MPL license is only an option with the older 4.1.6 version (used here). After that version, they switched to a dual AGPL/Commercial.
If you need a more recent version, you either have to make your project open-source or pay the license fee.
