    I've used this one with great success (and its free): https://github.com/tuespetre/TuesPechkin

    its basically a wrapper for wkhtmltopdf but I develop an app that has probably generated a million +/- invoices/statements over the past 5 years with it, and its been rock solid for me. Was a bit of a bear to get it working the first time (not a ton of documentation that I could find at the time), but once working, was easy to add/change new documents/layouts.

    As it uses wkhtmltopdf under to covers, it is a HTML->PDF tool, but I prefer that, at least for my use case.

    Not sure there is a dotnet-core version, so that might be a problem for some.

    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.

    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.

What are some alternatives?
