PDFsharp 7.0 Preview 2: .NET 8/9/10, .NET 4.6, NETstandard 2

[PDFsharp-Team]

Hello, everybody!

As of today, PDFsharp 7.0.0 Preview 2 is available.

This version is published under dual license: AGPL or optional commercial license.

The main goals of PDFsharp 7, besides new features, were stability improvements, bug fixes, and greater extensibility. This first preview version is primarily intended to help users identify compatibility issues with previous versions of PDFsharp so we can address them before release.
There are some bug reports and pull requests on GitHub that haven't yet been included in this version. These will be addressed in future previews.

You can find the source code on github.com:
https://github.com/empira/PDFsharp

You can find binaries (assemblies) on NuGet.

Note: On NuGet there are Core, GDI, and WPF packages.

The six new NuGet packages:

• PDFsharp & MigraDoc Core: https://www.nuget.org/packages/PDFsharp-MigraDoc/7.0.0-preview-2
• PDFsharp & MigraDoc GDI: https://www.nuget.org/packages/PDFsharp-MigraDoc-GDI/7.0.0-preview-2
• PDFsharp & MigraDoc WPF: https://www.nuget.org/packages/PDFsharp-MigraDoc-WPF/7.0.0-preview-2
• PDFsharp Core: https://www.nuget.org/packages/PDFsharp/7.0.0-preview-2

• PDFsharp WPF: https://www.nuget.org/packages/PDFsharp-WPF/7.0.0-preview-2

All packages target .NET 8, .NET 9, and .NET 10 and can also be used with .NET 5 through .NET 7.
The Core packages also target .NET Standard 2.0 and should work with all compatible platforms including Windows and Linux.
The GDI and WPF packages also target .NET 4.6.2 and can also be used with higher versions like 4.7.2 or 4.8.1, but depend on Windows.

The source code is now compatible with Visual Studio 2026 with installed .NET 10 SDK.
