SkDocument PDF output support about skiasharp HOT 9 CLOSED

This looks very useful, we need to basically bind the SkDocument type.

Is anyone working on this? Otherwise I can take a crack at it, as this is something I need.

Update: I've written the C api but I don't know how to get the build to link libskia_windows with the pdf Skia project (generated from pdf.gyp).

Hey @tdenniston, have you managed to get the build going? The VS projects just need you to add a reference to the pdf vcxproj (and any dependencies). Basically, add the project to the solution, and then reference it in the libSkiaSharp project...

@mattleibow Hmm, I'm not sure I understand completely. (I'm still learning Windows development practices and Visual Studio). Which solution do I add pdf.vcxproj to? On a related note, I'm now seeing quite a few build problems since the UWP platform was added. I'm developing on Windows 7 but it seems to think I am on a UWP platform.

@mattleibow @migueldeicaza this sounds very useful as I need print also.
Would it be as simple as launching PDF in default browser via xamarin forms, or is there an easier cross-platform way?
Would we also need XPS for Windows WPF or UWP?
Thanks again for all your work on this.

@alanricker Not too sure exactly, but I do know that Windows UWP has a default PDF reader - Edge. They are discontinuing the PDF reader app, so PDF support is available right from the start

All right... I have done this in the native bit and wrapped the SkDocument and SkWStreams. I have a really basic PDF sample (just a single line of text). Just waiting for our CI to pick it up and then I will release a new version.

tvOS and PDF support was added in the release https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/releases/tag/v1.49.4-beta
