Integration

The integration of the HiQPdf software component with your own .NET Core application is very simple and consists in adding a reference to the NuGet package in your Visual Studio project. This is the recommended mode of using the library. When you reference the NuGet package all the dependent packages are automatically added to your project. The ASP.NET Core demo applications for Visual Studio from Samples folder are using the HiQPdf for .NET Core NuGet package.

If you manually reference the HiQPdf Assembly for .NET Core from Assemblies folder in your applications instead of using the NuGet package, then you also have to reference the following NuGet dependent packages in your .NET Core project:

  • System.Drawing.Common

  • System.Security.Principal.Windows

  • System.Text.Encoding.CodePages

Finally, after your .NET Core project was built, you have to manually copy the hiqpdf.dep and HiQPdf.rda in the Bin folder of your application near the HiQPdf.NetCore.dll assembly because these files are required at runtime.
