This library also offers functionality to merge, split, stamp, forms, compress, and secure PDF files. Using this library, you can draw different shapes like line, curve, rectangle and more on PDF documents in C# and VB.NET. This sample explains how to draw a round corner rectangle on PDF document in Console application. Steps to draw a round corner rectangle on PDF document programmatically in C#:
C# using Syncfusion.Pdf; using Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
VB.NET Imports Syncfusion.Pdf Imports Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics Imports System.Drawing Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
C# //Create a new PDF document
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
//Add a new page to the document
PdfPage page = document.Pages.Add();
//Initialize graphics for the page
PdfGraphics graphics = page.Graphics;
//Represent the shape
graphics.DrawString("Rounded Rectangle", new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 16), PdfBrushes.DarkBlue, new PointF(190, 30));
//Create the Rectangle
RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(160, 70, 200, 100);
int dimension = 30;
//Create the GraphicsPath
GraphicsPath graphicsPath = new GraphicsPath();
//Draw the rounded rectangle as separate 4 arcs with same dimensions of width and height
graphicsPath.AddArc(rect.X, rect.Y, dimension, dimension, 180, 90);
graphicsPath.AddArc(rect.X + rect.Width - dimension, rect.Y, dimension, dimension, 270, 90);
graphicsPath.AddArc(rect.X + rect.Width - dimension, rect.Y + rect.Height - dimension, dimension, dimension, 0, 90);
graphicsPath.AddArc(rect.X, rect.Y + rect.Height - dimension, dimension, dimension, 90, 90);
//Close the path
graphicsPath.CloseFigure();
//Get the path points
PointF[] points = graphicsPath.PathPoints;
//Get the path types
byte[] pathTypes = graphicsPath.PathTypes;
//Create the PdfPath
PdfPath pdfPath = new PdfPath(PdfPens.Black, points, pathTypes);
//Draw the path on PDF page
graphics.DrawPath(PdfPens.Black, pdfPath);
//Save the PDF document
document.Save("RoundRectangle.pdf");
//Close the instance of PdfDocument
document.Close(true);
