How to display SVG file in PDF Header or Footer?

[hecWorkwear]

Hi all,

We have a lot of svg file which used to put in PDF content & header. Basically we use HTML for page content but for header, footer, we had to draw by ourselves.
I just bought Spire.PDF and I want to ask how to display an SVG file in PDF Header / Footer?

Thank you,

Thank you Rachel, we use SVG for vector output and high quality printing. Currently, SVG can be load with HTML conversion, but only header meet this issue because header made by drawing.

Please let me know if any update .

Hello,

I like this feature a lot.

But is it possible to add another overload to the PdfDocument.LoadFromSvg method? One that accepts a Stream or a byte[] or a string (svg markup). Or perhaps a LoadFromStream overload that accepts a FileFormat parameter.

We have SVG's stored as strings in our database of a web application. To use them in a dynamically generated *.pdf file, we would have to
- retrieve them from the database
- write them to a temporary file
- load them using PdfDocument.LoadFromSvg()
- remove temporary file

this would cause a lot of disk activity we would rather avoid.

Best regards

We will add an overload to accept a stream in LoadFromSvg method. Once it is achieved in the future, we will let you know.
