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

The primary theme of this release is the removal of the SkiaSharp dependency and the introduction of a custom native layer built on top of Skia M124.


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, greatly reducing the file size, especially when using glyph-rich fonts supporting multiple languages,
- Improved text-related capabilities, including but not limited to text justification, bi-directionality, enhanced line breaking algorithms, more styles for text decoration, word spacing, and more,
- Introduced additional document compression to further reduce file size,
- Integrated native SVG support,
- In future releases: enhanced accessibility through support for PDF tags.


Other changes:
- Removed the SkiaSharp dependency, thereby making QuestPDF a standalone library,
- Updated the Lato font to the latest version (2.015),
- Included licenses of the third-party dependencies in the NuGet package,
- Included a list of Contributors in the NuGet package to acknowledge the valuable input from our Community in improving QuestPDF.


Unfortunately, this release also introduces breaking changes:
- Removed support for injecting SkiaSharp content directly into the document. It is still possible to integrate SkiaSharp through vector and raster graphics; please consult the documentation for more details,
- Removed support for platforms: Android, iOS, UWP, WASM, and Linux-Alpine. We are currently investigating reintroducing support for WASM and Linux-Alpine in future releases.

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.


Version 2024.3.1
- Enhanced discoverability of text alignment options (AlignLeft, AlignCenter, AlignRight, AlignStart, AlignEnd and Justify) when using the shorthand Text method (common use case).
- To enhance compatibility with existing codebases, we've removed the breaking change associated with the deprecation of the TextStyle.Fallback method. Although this method remains obsolete, we've reintroduced it with a compatibility layer to prevent disruptions.
- Enhanced compatibility with dotnet standard projects.
- Fix: on the Windows platform, the "Could not find an appropriate font fallback for the following glyphs: $U-000D" exception is thrown when the "QuestPDF.Settings.CheckIfAllTextGlyphsAreAvailable" is set true, and the "TextDescriptor.Line" method is used (that inserts the '\r' character).
- Fix: resolved an issue where the positioning of hyperlinks was incorrect when text contained injected block items.
