QuestPDF is an open-source .NET library for PDF documents generation.

It offers a layouting engine designed with a full paging support in mind. The document consists of many simple elements (e.g. border, background, image, text, padding, table, grid etc.) that are composed together to create more complex structures. This way, as a developer, you can understand the behavior of every element and use them with full confidence. Additionally, the document and all its elements support paging functionality. For example, an element can be moved to the next page (if there is not enough space) or even be split between pages like table's rows.

Unlike other libraries, it does not rely on the HTML-to-PDF conversion which in many cases is not reliable. Instead, it implements its own layouting engine that is optimized to cover all paging-related requirements.

Installation

The library is available as a nuget package. You can install it as any other nuget package from your IDE, try to search by QuestPDF. You can find package details on this webpage.

Documentation

Getting started tutorial A short and easy to follow tutorial showing how to design an invoice document under 200 lines of code.

API reference A detailed description of behavior of all available components and how to use them with C# Fluent API.

Patterns and Practices Everything that may help you designing great reports and create reusable code that is easy to maintain.

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:

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");

And compare it to the produced PDF file:

invoice

Are you ready for more?

The Fluent API of QuestPDF scales really well. It is easy to create and maintain even most complex documents. Read the Getting started tutorial to learn QuestPDF basics and implement an invoice under 200 lines of code. You can also investigate and play with the code from the example repository.

- Introduced the Previewer tool - a hot-reload powered, cross-platform program that visualizes your PDF document and updates the preview every time you make a code change (available only for dotnet 6),
- Improved default word-wrapping algorithm to better handle words which do not fit on the available width,
- Introduced new word-wrapping option 'WrapAnywhere' that wraps word at the last possible character instead of moving it into new line.
