Inserting image into PDF in xamarin forms - xamarin

I am working on a project using images where the user gets to choose if they want to save in .jpg or .pdf format. So what I thought was either way save it in .jpg initially and then if they choose .pdf, just push the image into pdf. I read a lot of documentation like xfinium pdf and syncfusion pdf but sadly all those are licensed for commercial use. I was wondering if anybody could point me at the right direction so as to how to get this done without using paid licensing.
Thanks in advance.

Try to use: PdfSharpCore
is a partial port of PdfSharp.Xamarin for .NET Standard.

How to compare the layout of pdf files programmatically?

It is possible to rip the text from pdf and comapre it. And here i need to compare if the layout of the pdf with another pdf file. Is it possible programmatically? There are third party tools to do that, but is it available for testing using selenium or any programming language?
I have gone through google, but couldn't find a solid solution for this yet? Any help appreciated.
With PDF Box of apache you should be among other things be able to extract the text from existing PDF documents.
ps: you probably have to create a custom program in jave to extract and compare and invoke it from selinium.

Outlook truncating images

I'm designing an e-mail template for a company and it tests great in everything besides Outlook. For some reason the bottom images of the email look like they're loading half way and then stop. I've found information online that Outlook won't load images with a height greater than 1728px, but the tallest image we have is much shorter than that. There are images beyond 1728px on the page that are loading just fine, so I'm not sure that's the issue. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any advice would be helpful.
Hi Here is a quick solution for this to be done in the outlook.
Use photoshop and follow this steps:
Once the design is over, slice up the image parts / height(1728px as per yout example).
Save this as, File->Save for web and device. click save. you will get option under save box
Under format change this to HTML and image from drop down.
Save them in one folder. A new HTML file and image file will be created in this folder.
Open this HTML file in a browser.
Just copy and paste the content in the outlook using a single cell table.
That's you are done. Now your image will load without any problem.

View PDF as a SlideShow?

I'm looking for an answer, if there is somehow possible to view a PDF file (ASP.NET MVC 3 project) in other way like a standard in the adobe plugin. My client wants to:
show the PDF file like a slide show (or navigate horizontally through the pages)
protect the PDF file from being downloaded
so, maybe there is a JavaScript/jQuery control to change the presentation of the PDF or maybe some other way ? Is it even possible ? Any ideas ?
Google has an open PDF viewer. Trying it out:

Can I save a DMBL layout as a jpeg/png?

Is it possible to save the layout diagram from a DBML file as a jpeg/png or any other image format?
A manager wants to know what we are storing in our database and the print out wasn't enough he wants an electronic version.
I know I can use a screen-shot but wonder if there are any other options? I've just thought about printing to a PDF printer as well. Still would be nice if there was a save to PNG
Thanks
If you are a MSOffice user, you can use Microsoft OneNote (copy diagram over there and then export it to a PNG), or you can use Snipping Tool, which is basically a nice tool for taking screen shots out of portions of the screen.
In the end I just used a PDF printer which worked quite nicely.

Load word document content to PrintDocument

I have a .doc or .dot file and I'd like to view it in PrintPreviewDialog. I heard that I only can view it if I can load the .doc content into PrintDocument object or atleast paint the content on.
Anyone know how to do it?
Thanks in advance
Microsoft Word is required to load the .doc and generate the preview image of document. Embedding Word in your own window used to be possible but support for this is rapidly disappearing. The old DsoFramer control used to be the standard solution but you can no longer download it. It got removed when the Office 2010 beta became available, an ominous sign. Embedding it in a WebBrowser might still be possible, not sure.
The long term solution is to use Word itself to generate the preview. Use the Document.PrintPreview() method.
