This project is taking the last version of iTextSharp which was licenced with LGPL and making it work with Mono For Android.
The challenge is that not all of System.Drawing is implemented in Mono for Android. There is some in Mono.Android and some similar classes in OpenTK, but they are missing some needed classes.
Missing System.Drawing classes are: System.Drawing.Image System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat System.Drawing.Drawing2d.Matrix System.Drawing.Bitmap
To get the solution to compile, I have added these bare-bone versions of these classes in the SystemDrawingDummy folder. These have just the bare minimal amount of code to get it compile. This worked for my needs which include vector images, but you will need a fuller implementation to get things like bitmap images to work.
Changes to code:
- Added setter to the Chunk Content. (This was a custom need.)
- Removed Barcode files. (iTextSharp-Monotouch did this and I didn't need it, so I removed it just in case.)
- I needed to restore the Resource IDs of everything in iTextSharp/text/pdf/fonts so they started with "iTextSharp.text.pdf.fonts." so that fonts worked.
You have three license choices when it comes to iTextSharp: LGPL, AGPL, or a commercial license. The LGPL license is only an option with the older 4.1.6 version (used here). After that version, they switched to a dual AGPL/Commercial.
The short version of the license conditions goes like this. With LGPL you need to publicly release any changes to the library itself (like I have done here) but you don't have to release the projects that link to the library. With the AGPL license, you need to release all your source code publicly. By merely linking their code in your project, your project is now open-source. Paying for a commercial license, however, let's you use their library and not require you to release your source code. Go here to fill out a form, so they can email you the price: http://itextpdf.com/terms-of-use/index.php
If you need a more recent version, you either have to make your project open-source or pay the license fee.
