如何从Windows Phone 生成PDF文档

我需要从我的Windows Phone应用程序生成PDF。

遗憾的是没有标准的免费的PDF生成库在Windows Phone上运行。 我不得不自己生成PDF，通过直接写入到文件格式。 这竟然是真的很容易！ 源代码是在这个文档的底部，并在此链接：

• 下载源代码code.zip [60K，需要VS2012，包括控制台和WP8的应用程序]

为什么要在移动电话上生成PDF

举个例子，我想生成一个PDF，将其上传到用户的SkyDrive的帐户，让用户发送一封电子邮件，一个“分享”链接。 这就是当你点击“分享”按钮，微软自己的PDF阅读器应用程序的工作原理。

其他人认为，一个电话没有业务生成PDF文件，因为它是这样一个代价高昂的操作，你应该不是您的文档上传到您的PDF生成的Web服务器。 这是错误的。 PDF生成，至少对于种报告我产生（两页的非流动文本），是一种非常廉价的手术。 我敢打赌，它的成本更多的电池上传+下载，而不是生成PDF文档。

自己写的PDF文件格式

下面的代码在Windows Phone上的运行得很好，PDF文件格式非常简单，如果你想要做的就是创建简单的报告-用文字，图表＆C。 我们需要的是为展示如何创建PDF文件。 因此，这里是我的示例代码！ 请注意，我使用一个额外功能“ENC”，这意味着非ASCII从Unicode（在.NET中使用）到WinAnsiEncoding（我选择要使用的PDF编码） - 完整的源代码是从顶部的链接下载这篇文章的。
