Upgrade existing code

Upgrading an existing PDFsharp project is described in Upgrade existing projects to PDFsharp 6.

Breaking changes

PDFsharp Library 6 is the successor of PDFsharp 1.5. It has the following breaking changes.

• The class XFontStyle is renamed to XFontStyleEx
• The Core build now has no dependencies on the System.Drawing namespace anymore. If your code relies on functionality of GDI+ use the PDFsharp GDI+ build.
• Some of the implicit conversions in XUnit became obsolete because they led to misunderstandings and unexpected behavior. Consider initiating XUnit passing the desired unit type or use the new XUnitPt class instead to deal with point values and benefit from implicit conversions and value conversions.
