Most of the best, most comprehensive PDF libraries are written for Java. There are libraries for other languages but they tend to be incomplete or flawed. There’s also some great paid libraries for C#, but if you want free, I’d recommend looking into Apache PDFBox.
- TuringNYC 4y agoI recently had this revelation. I remember how easy it was doing this in java a decade ago...and how underwhelmed I was finding a library to achieve the same in Python. There seems to be no clear winning library in Python and some havent been maintained for years on.
- kragen 4y agoIn Python I just used ReportLab. It seemed okay but I had a lot of problems because I didn't understand the PDF format. Which library did you try and what was your experience?
