Add Text with Unicode String to XPS Document with Aspose.Page

Introduction

In the ever-evolving landscape of .NET development, Aspose.Page stands out as a powerful tool for handling XPS documents. Among its many features, the ability to add text with Unicode strings to an XPS document is a valuable functionality. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, ensuring you harness this capability effectively.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• A basic understanding of .NET development.
• Visual Studio installed on your machine.
• Aspose.Page for .NET library. You can download it from here.

Import Namespaces

To begin, ensure you import the necessary namespaces into your project. This will provide the required classes and functionalities for working with Aspose.Page. Here are the essential namespaces:

using Aspose.Page.XPS;
using Aspose.Page.XPS.XpsModel;
using System.Drawing;

Step 1: Set up the Document

Firstly, create a new XPS document where you’ll be adding the Unicode text. Follow the code snippet below:

// The path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
// Create new XPS Document
XpsDocument doc = new XpsDocument();

Step 2: Add Unicode Text

Now, let’s add Unicode text to the XPS document. This example uses the Arial font, sets the font size to 20, and positions the text at coordinates (400f, 200f). The Unicode string in this case is “TEN. rof SPX.esopsA”. Check out the code snippet below:

// Add Text
XpsSolidColorBrush textFill = doc.CreateSolidColorBrush(Color.Black);
XpsGlyphs glyphs = doc.AddGlyphs("Arial", 20, FontStyle.Regular, 400f, 200f, "TEN. rof SPX.esopsA");
glyphs.BidiLevel = 1;
glyphs.Fill = textFill;

Step 3: Save the Document

Once the Unicode text is added, save the resultant XPS document. Here’s the final step:

// Save resultant XPS document
doc.Save(dataDir + "AddTextRTL_out.xps");

Congratulations! You’ve successfully added Unicode text to an XPS document using Aspose.Page for .NET.
