ASP.NET NuGet package does not copy the PDFNet folder to the bin directory when Publishing

To get the files copied to the Publish Target Location, please make the following changes:

  1. In your References, please set "Copy Local" property of PDFNet.dll to "True"

​ 2) Add the following to PublishProfile i.e. *.pubxml

<Target Name="PDFNetFiles">
    <ItemGroup>
        <_CustomFiles Include="bin\**\*" />
        <FilesForPackagingFromProject Include="%(_CustomFiles.Identity)">
            <DestinationRelativePath>bin\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)</DestinationRelativePath>
        </FilesForPackagingFromProject>
    </ItemGroup>
</Target>

Under PropertyGroup:

<CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForPackageDependsOn>
    PDFNetFiles;
    $(CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForPackageDependsOn);
</CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForPackageDependsOn>

<CopyAllFilesToSingleFolderForMsdeployDependsOn>
