  QuestPDF is an open-source, modern and battle-tested library that can help you with generating PDF documents by offering friendly, discoverable and predictable C# fluent API. (by questpdf)

  

  Two months ago, I have shared with you my open-source library designed for generating PDF documents in .NET applications. The way how QuestPDF differs from other libraries is simple: instead of relying on an HTML-to-PDF conversion, it implements its own layouting engine that renders the full content using the SkiaSharp library (a Skia port for .NET, used in Chrome, Android, Xamarin, etc.). I have written this layouting engine with full paging support in mind. That means the document content is aware of page size, can be moved to the next page (if there is not enough space) or even be split between pages (e.g. table rows) - there are many elements to help you implementing the desired paging behaviour. Additionally, you have full access to various simple elements (e.g. border, background, image, text, padding, etc.) that are essential building blocks of complex layouts. This way, you have a set of easy to learn and understand tools that are highly composable and predictable which reduces the time of development.

  Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

  I’d recommend Weasyprint (.net core wrapper) instead of wkhtmltopdf. It supports CSS Paged Media which is pretty much required for everything but the simplest of HTML2PDF conversions.

  Yes, please create new issue on GitHub :) This particular feature was already proposed a couple of days ago. I was able to implement it and within days it will be available in the prerelease channel. More info: https://github.com/QuestPDF/QuestPDF/issues/29
