Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK (net10.0 or compatible version)
• Aspose.PDF for .NET NuGet package
• Valid Aspose license (for production use)

Running Examples

Each example is a self-contained C# file. To run an example:

cd <CategoryFolder>
dotnet new console -o ExampleProject
cd ExampleProject
dotnet add package Aspose.PDF
# Copy the example .cs file as Program.cs
dotnet run

Code Patterns

Loading a PDF

using (Document pdfDoc = new Document("input.pdf"))
{
    // Work with document
}

Error Handling

if (!File.Exists(inputPath))
{
    Console.Error.WriteLine($"Error: File not found – {inputPath}");
    return;
}

try
{
    // Operations
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.Error.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message}");
}

Important Notes

• One-based indexing: Aspose.PDF uses 1-based page indexing (Pages[1] = first page)
• Deterministic cleanup: All IDisposable objects wrapped in using blocks
• Console output: Success/error messages written to Console.WriteLine/Console.Error
