Product Page | Docs | Demos | API Reference | Examples | Blog | Releases | Free Support | Temporary License

Aspose.Page for .NET is an on premise .NET API that allows you to add XPS manipulation features to your own applications. The API also supports converting XPS, EPS & PS documents to other formats.

Developers can perform various operations on XPS documents, such as, add text, images, pages, gradient, grid using the visual brush, transparency object and set opacity mask. It allows you to create, edit and convert the file pages as well as the ability to manipulate documents and elements, create vector graphics, group shapes, and specifying colors in different color spaces including sRGB, scRGB, and any space-based on ICC profile.

Which package do I need?

This package depends on System.Drawing.Common, which is Windows-only from .NET 7 onward. For non-Windows platforms use Aspose.Page.Drawing � the same API on a fully managed graphics backend, with no native dependencies. Install one package or the other, not both.

• Work with multiple documents within an XPS document.
• Preserve print tickets and add default print tickets to new XPS documents.

Get Started

Execute Install-Package Aspose.Page from the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio, or dotnet add package Aspose.Page from the CLI. To upgrade an existing installation, run Update-Package Aspose.Page.

On Linux, macOS or in a container, install Aspose.Page.Drawing instead � see Which package do I need? above.

Create an XPS Document from Scratch via C# Code

Execute the below code snippet to see how Aspose.Page API performs in your own environment or check the GitHub Repository for other common usage scenarios.

using Aspose.Page.XPS;
using Color = System.Drawing.Color;
using FontStyle = System.Drawing.FontStyle;

// create XPS document
var xDocs = new XpsDocument();

// add glyphs to the document
var glyphs = xDocs.AddGlyphs("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular, 300f, 450f, "Hello World!");
glyphs.Fill = xDocs.CreateSolidColorBrush(Color.Black);

// save result
xDocs.Save(dir + "output.xps");

Convert a PostScript (PS) File to PDF Format

Aspose.Page for .NET allows you to work with document conversion, such as; PS to images, PS to PDF, XPS to images, XPS to PDF and so on. The following snippet demonstrates the conversion of PS to PDF using streams:

using Aspose.Page.EPS;
using Aspose.Page.EPS.Device;

// load the PostScript document
var document = new PsDocument(dir + "template.ps");

// carry on past recoverable problems and collect them instead of throwing
var options = new PdfSaveOptions(true);

document.SaveAsPdf(dir + "output.pdf", options);

// anything that was recovered from is reported here � including notices that a
// referenced font was not found and a substitute was used
foreach (var ex in options.Exceptions)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}

Using Aspose.Page.Drawing instead? The code is identical, but the using aliases point at Aspose.Page.Drawing rather than System.Drawing. The full list is in the 24.4 release notes.

See the GitHub repository for other common usage scenarios.
