## What it is
A Dart/Flutter library for creating PDF documents, offering both a low-level PDF generation API and a Flutter-like widget system for high-level document building. It supports multi-page documents with graphics, images, TrueType fonts, and works across mobile, desktop, and web targets.

## Use cases
- generate pdf invoices from a flutter app
- create multi-page pdf reports with images and text
- print documents to a device printer from mobile
- build pdf files on the web with dart
- generate pdf/a compliant documents
- render custom fonts in generated pdfs
- create pdf receipts with barcodes

## When to choose
- you are building a Flutter or Dart app that needs to generate PDFs
- you want a widget-based API for laying out PDF documents
- you need cross-platform PDF generation including web
- you need PDF/A support or TrueType font embedding

## When to avoid
- you need to parse or edit existing PDF files rather than create them
- you need server-side PDF rendering from HTML
- your project is not Dart/Flutter based

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: pdf, templating, image-processing
- domain: pdf, mobile-development, web-development, cross-platform, files
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: flutter, pdf-generation, printing, widgets, truetype-fonts, pdfa, barcode, android, ios, web, macos, linux
