How to Rotate Images in WinForms PDF Using C# and VB.NET?
Syncfusion Essential® PDF is a .NET PDF library used to create, read, and edit PDF documents. Using this library, you can draw a rotated image in the PDF document using C# and VB.NET.
Steps to rotate images in PDF programmatically:
- Create a new C# console application project.
- Install the Syncfusion.Pdf.WinForms NuGet packages as a reference to your .NET Framework application from NuGet.org.
- Include the following namespaces in the Program.cs file.
C#
using Syncfusion.Pdf; using Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics;
VB.NET
Imports Syncfusion.Pdf Imports Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics
- Use the following code snippet to create PDF and draw rotated image.
C#
// Create a document
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
// Add a new page
PdfPage page = doc.Pages.Add();
// Load an image
PdfBitmap image = new PdfBitmap("logo.gif");
// Save the current graphics state
PdfGraphicsState state = page.Graphics.Save();
// Translate the coordinate system to the required position
page.Graphics.TranslateTransform(120, 200);
// Rotate the coordinate system
page.Graphics.RotateTransform(-45);
// Draw an image
image.Draw(page, 0, 0);
// Restore the graphics state
page.Graphics.Restore(state);
// Save the PDF
doc.Save("RotatedImage.pdf");
doc.Close(true);
// This will open the PDF file so the result will be seen in the default PDF viewer
