IronPDF: C# PDF Library

IronPDF is a C# PDF library for creating and editing PDFs on Windows. It was created by .NET developers who wanted to have the same functionality as Adobe Acrobat but in a more simplified way. IronPDF is an easy-to-use and lightweight library with many features that support beginners and experts programmatically:

IronPDF provides developers with easy-to-use tools for creating, editing, encrypting, and signing PDF documents from within .NET applications based on Microsoft .NET Framework and .NET Core.

The IronPDF library is written entirely in C# to provide an easy way for .NET developers to write PDF documents. The goal of the IronPDF library is to provide a set of API calls that make it simple for developers to create PDFs, apply digital signatures, and encrypt their information.

IronPDF enables developers to write very efficiently and with fewer lines of code for PDF processors. Let's take a look at how to scan multiple pages or images into one PDF using IronPDF.

// Import the necessary IronPdf namespaces
using IronPdf;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

// Select all JPEG images in a specific 'assets' folder.
var ImageFiles = Directory.EnumerateFiles("assets")
                          .Where(f => f.EndsWith(".jpg") || f.EndsWith(".jpeg"));

// Converts the images to a PDF and saves the document as "composite.pdf".
ImageToPdfConverter.ImageToPdf(ImageFiles).SaveAs("composite.pdf");
// Import the necessary IronPdf namespaces
using IronPdf;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

// Select all JPEG images in a specific 'assets' folder.
var ImageFiles = Directory.EnumerateFiles("assets")
                          .Where(f => f.EndsWith(".jpg") || f.EndsWith(".jpeg"));

// Converts the images to a PDF and saves the document as "composite.pdf".
ImageToPdfConverter.ImageToPdf(ImageFiles).SaveAs("composite.pdf");
' Import the necessary IronPdf namespaces
Imports IronPdf
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Linq

' Select all JPEG images in a specific 'assets' folder.
Private ImageFiles = Directory.EnumerateFiles("assets").Where(Function(f) f.EndsWith(".jpg") OrElse f.EndsWith(".jpeg"))

' Converts the images to a PDF and saves the document as "composite.pdf".
ImageToPdfConverter.ImageToPdf(ImageFiles).SaveAs("composite.pdf")
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

In the code above, the ImageToPdf function of IronPDF is used to convert a collection of images into a PDF file. The Directory.EnumerateFiles method is used to loop through files in the "assets" folder to select images with JPEG extensions.
