Opening the client default mail with attachment

I'm working with asp core mvc project. I would like to open the client default mail with a iTextSharp output as an attachment for the email, is this possible using IEmailSender or any other reference?
and if i can empty the fields to,from and keep only the attached file and subject.

Thanks in advance

This is not at all possible - and it would be a big security hole if web applications could open our default email client with random files attached (!).
The mailto protocol allows you to set the following properties only:
subject: Text to appear in the subject line of the message.
body: Text to appear in the body of the message.
CC: Addresses to be included in the "cc" (carbon copy) section of the message.
BCC: Addresses to be included in the "bcc" (blind carbon copy) section of the message.
One possible idea would be to allow your users to upload files to your website first, and you create a mailto: link that includes the URL of the file they uploaded in the body of the email message.

Replacing Specific Text Inside PDF Using iTextSharp ASP.NET

I am trying to replace a particular text inside a PDF using iTextSharp but i am not able to replace it, what my code does is just copy the same file as it is in the destination location. Can anyone help me with this. Following is my code
string src = Server.MapPath("~/Name.pdf");
string dest = Server.MapPath("~/2.pdf");
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src);
PdfDictionary dict = reader.GetPageN(1);
PdfObject obj = dict.GetDirectObject(PdfName.CONTENTS);
PRStream stream = (PRStream)obj;
byte[] data = PdfReader.GetStreamBytes(stream);
string dd = new string(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data).ToCharArray());
dd = dd.Replace("#Name", "John Smith");
stream.SetData(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(dd));
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new System.IO.FileStream(dest, System.IO.FileMode.Create));
stamper.Close();
reader.Close();

What about using the following approach:
string formFile = <Your pdf filepath goes here>;
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(formFile);
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, stream);
AcroFields fields = stamper.AcroFields;
fields.SetField("{{FirstName}}", objUser.FirstName);
fields.SetField("{{ContactNumber}}", objUser.EmailId);
fields.SetField("{{Address1}}", objUser.AddressLine1);
fields.SetField("{{Address2}}", objUser.AddressLine2);
fields.SetField("{{Qualification}}", objUser.Education);
fields.SetField("{{AppNumber}}", "01A2021"+objUser.UserId.ToString());
stamper.Writer.CloseStream = false;
stamper.FormFlattening = true;
stamper.Close();
stream.Position = 0;
And use that stream as you like

SSRS Report in C# console app doesn't fill printed page

Below is code for a VS2015 C# console app where I printing an 8.5x14 SSRS report (no data connection). When I print the report from Report Builder, it renders correctly. When I print it from my console app, the report doesn't fill the page. I am rendering the report to a stream where I set the size to 8.5x14, then printing it, setting the document size to 8.5x14. Not sure what else I need to do to get it to fit.
If anyone would take a look and offer advise, I would be very grateful.

Creating a PDF file?

I looked into iTextSharp and SharpPDF and Report.Net as well as PDFSharp.
None of these open source projects have good documentation OR do not work with VS 2012.
Does anyone have a recommended solution or can show me the documentation?
My employer blocks many sites and although Google is not blocked, some of the results are.
I plan on using C# with WinForms and obtaining my data from an Access DB

Hey #Cocoa Dev get this a complete example with diferent functions.

You can always just create an html page and then convert that to pdf using wkhtmltopdf. This has the benefit of you not having to construct the pdf with a library such as iText. You just make a text file (html) and then pass it to the wkhtmltopdf executable.
See Calling wkhtmltopdf to generate PDF from HTML for more info.

I think it's because I didn't install the STSong-Light font. Unfortunately I could not find STSong-Light and, therefore, had to set Stsong font, but it still does not work.
String fontPath = Path.Combine(serverPath + "\\Fonts", "STSONG.ttf");
BaseFont baseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(fontPath, "UniGB-UCS2-H", BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
Font font = new Font(baseFont, 12, Font.NORMAL);

Set the SubstitutionFont after creating the PdfStamper:
stamper.AcroFields.AddSubstitutionFont(myFont.BaseFont);
