You can skip low-level PDF libs entirely and just generate the PDF from an HTML/CSS template (or plain HTML or URLS). With PDFBolt you design the layout once in HTML/CSS + Handlebars, then your C# code sends JSON and gets a PDF back from the API. That avoids the whole DOM/layout/rendering headache and you don’t have to ship a browser engine yourself.

It’s not a replacement for permissively licensed libraries when you need everything local, but for reports/invoices/etc. it can save a lot of time.
