plt pdfs in csharp

To plot PDF files in C#, we can use different libraries like iTextSharp, PDFSharp, etc. Here is an example of how to plot a chart from data in a PDF file using PDFSharp library:

main.cs
using System.IO;
using PdfSharp.Drawing;
using PdfSharp.Pdf;
using PdfSharp.Pdf.Advanced;

namespace PdfPlotting
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Open the PDF file
            string pdfFilePath = "input.pdf";
            PdfDocument inputDocument = PdfReader.Open(pdfFilePath, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import);

            // Get the first page of the PDF file
            PdfPage page = inputDocument.Pages[0];

            // Create a chart
            Chart chart = new Chart();
            chart.AddDataFromPdfPage(page);

            // Create a new PDF document and add a page to it
            PdfDocument outputDocument = new PdfDocument();
            PdfPage outputPage = outputDocument.AddPage();

            // Draw the chart on the PDF page
            XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(outputPage);
            chart.Draw(gfx);

            // Save the output PDF file
            string outputPdfFilePath = "output.pdf";
            outputDocument.Save(outputPdfFilePath);
        }
    }
}

// The Chart class
class Chart
{
    private List<double> xValues = new List<double>();
    private List<double> yValues = new List<double>();

    public void AddDataFromPdfPage(PdfPage page)
    {
        // TODO: Extract data from the PDF page and populate xValues and yValues lists
    }

    public void Draw(XGraphics gfx)
    {
        // TODO: Draw a chart using xValues and yValues lists
    }
}

This code reads a PDF file called "input.pdf", extracts the data from its first page and plots a chart with it. The resulting PDF file is saved as "output.pdf". You need to implement the methods AddDataFromPdfPage and Draw in the Chart class, which depend on the format of your data and the type of chart you want to plot.
