Introduction to HiQPdf Client for .NET
HiQPdf Client for .NET is a software component that can be used in .NET Framework, .NET Core or .NET Standard 2.0 applications on multiple platforms to quickly create high-quality PDF documents. Before using the library, it is necessary to install HiQPdf Server as a Windows service or as an Azure Cloud Service. The server is delivered as a separate package that contains the server files and detailed installation instructions.
The component is built around the HTML to PDF conversion engine, which can render HTML content to PDF with very high accuracy. In addition to the quick approach of generating a PDF document directly from an HTML document, the component can also be used to create PDF documents in a traditional manner by laying out PDF objects such as text, HTML, SVG, images and graphics in an empty document. It can also be used in a combined mode to generate an initial PDF document from HTML and then lay out additional objects on top of it.
The component can also be used to edit PDF documents by adding PDF objects on top of the existing content, merging and splitting PDF documents, extracting text and images from PDF documents, searching text in PDF documents, rasterizing PDF pages to images or converting PDF documents to HTML.
