QuestPDF: Modern .NET library for PDF document generation
I've been using Rotativa[1] for URL to PDF generation which is also a wrapper for wkhtmltopdf. They have a dotnet-core[2] version and also a SaaS[3] but I think it's worth mentioning that Azure PaaS supports wkhtmltopdf natively[4] so I just self-host.
Looking at QuestPDF's API docs, it doesn't look like they support URL / HTML to PDF generation. I think this would be a great addition especially given the age and issues with Rotativa and TuesPechkin on their GitHubs.

Programmatically Rendering PDFs from HTML using Chrome and Puppeteer
I've used numerous technologies for doing that conversion, including WebSuperGoo's ABCpdf.net, and Rotativa's free library. (We even have an article on how to use it.) The latter is still in use on some of my projects, but it—and its newer .Net Core version—is based on wkhtmltopdf.exe, which is a problem. More about that later.

QuestPDF: Modern .NET library for PDF document generation
It shouldn't be too difficult to add support for this. I authored a Go library which adds support for importing PDFs into a new PDF generator (either gofpdf or gopdf). It is around 2,500 lines of code: https://github.com/phpdave11/gofpdi
