C#/vb.net Creating PDF bulleted lists and multilevel numbered lists

With bullets and numbering, you can make your document hierarchy clearer, more organized, and easier to focus on. In the process of editing the document, I personally also prefer the item label to highlight the article key information. In the previous article, you described how to create a list of project labels and numbers in Word, and in this article, we'll cover the ways to create PDF bulleted lists and multilevel numbered lists.

1. Create PDF Symbol list C

Using system;using system.drawing;using spire.pdf;using spire.pdf.graphics;using spire.pdf.lists;namespace Createlist_pdf{class Program {static void Main (string[] args) {//Create a PDF document Pd            Fdocument doc = new pdfdocument (); Add a page A4 the size of page pdfpagebase page = doc.            Pages.Add (PDFPAGESIZE.A4);            Float y = 10;            Create a title and format it, including font, font size, color pdfbrush brush1 = pdfbrushes.black;            Pdftruetypefont font1 = new Pdftruetypefont (New Font ("Italic", 18f, Fontstyle.regular), true);            Pdfstringformat format1 = new Pdfstringformat (pdftextalignment.center); Page.

Height;            y = y + 5; Create list text and format RectangleF RCTG = new RectangleF (new PointF (0, 0), page.

Font = Font2; List.            Indent = 8; List.            Textindent = 5; List.            Brush = brush; Pdflayoutresult result = list.            Draw (page, 0, y); y = result.

2. Create a PDF multilevel numbered list

Spire.Pdf.dll supports multiple types of numbering types
