Usage animation of the PDF library

👨‍💻 Design PDF documents using C# and employ a code-only approach. Utilize your version control system to its fullest potential.

🧱 Compose PDF document with a range of powerful and predictable structural elements, such as text, image, border, table, and many more.

⚙️ Utilize a comprehensive layout engine, specifically designed for PDF document generation and paging support.

📖 Write code using concise and easy-to-understand C# Fluent API. Utilize IntelliSense to quickly discover available options.

🔗 Don't be limited to any proprietary scripting language or format. Follow your experience and leverage all modern C# features.

⌛ Save time thanks to a hot-reload capability, allowing real-time PDF document preview without code recompilation.

Simplicity is the key

How easy it is to start and prototype with QuestPDF? Really easy thanks to its minimal API! Please analyse the code below that generates basic PDF document:

using QuestPDF.Fluent;
using QuestPDF.Helpers;
using QuestPDF.Infrastructure;

// code in your main method
Document.Create(container =>
{
    container.Page(page =>
    {
        page.Size(PageSizes.A4);
        page.Margin(2, Unit.Centimetre);
        page.Background(Colors.White);
        page.DefaultTextStyle(x => x.FontSize(20));
        
        page.Header()
            .Text("Hello PDF!")
            .SemiBold().FontSize(36).FontColor(Colors.Blue.Medium);
        
        page.Content()
            .PaddingVertical(1, Unit.Centimetre)
            .Column(x =>
            {
                x.Spacing(20);
                
                x.Item().Text(Placeholders.LoremIpsum());
                x.Item().Image(Placeholders.Image(200, 100));
            });
        
        page.Footer()
            .AlignCenter()
            .Text(x =>
            {
                x.Span("Page ");
                x.CurrentPageNumber();
            });
    });
})
.GeneratePdf("hello.pdf");

Version 2024.3.0-alpha
The primary theme of this release is the removal of the SkiaSharp dependency and the introduction of custom native layer built on top of Skia M121.
This change was necessary to provide much higher flexibility and enable several new long-awaited features:
- Font subsetting - this feature includes only necessary font glyphs in the output document, reducing the file size. The size difference can be enormous when complex fonts are used of various styles,
- Improved text-related capabilities, including text justification, bi-directionality, enhanced line breaking algorithms, and more,
- Introduced additional document compression to reduce file size,
- Integrated native SVG support,
- Improved performance by 25% on average,
- In the future release: enhanced accessibility by support for PDF tags.

We would like to thank the SkiaSharp project, its maintainers and contributors, for creating a fantastic graphics library. It was a fantastic foundation for QuestPDF for over 3 years.

This release requires at least .NET Standard 2.1. The beta release will reintroduce support for the .NET Standard 2.0.



Version 2024.3.0-beta
- Updated the codebase to Skia m122 and resolved all backward-incompatible changes,
- Added support for the .NET Standard 2.0,
- Improved P/Invoke and marshaling compatibility with the legacy .NET Framework,
- Fixed a bug in the Text element that could cause an exception under certain conditions,
- Updated the Lato font to the latest version (2.015),
- Improved the loading method for native dependencies,
- Added the Text.ClampLines functionality,
- Added support for adjusting the thickness and style of text decorations (overline, strikeout, underline),
- Added support for word spacing,
- Reduced the risk of race conditions in Avalonia in the QuestPDF Previewer,
- Enhanced exception message when the QuestPDF Previewer fails to load due to missing required dotnet 8 runtime,
- Improved native memory management and fixed memory leaks,
- Include licenses of the third party dependencies in the NuGet package,
- Performed code cleanup and made minor adjustments.
