FossPDF is a modern open-source .NET library for PDF document generation - it's a fork of QuestPDF at the latest commit that still used a FOSS (Free, Open-Source Software license).
👨💻 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 FossPDF? Really easy thanks to its minimal API! Please analyse the code below that generates basic PDF document:
using FossPDF.Fluent;
using FossPDF.Helpers;
using FossPDF.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");
