printpdf is a Rust library (also usable via WASM) for creating, reading, writing, and rendering PDF documents. It supports pages, layers, graphics, embedded fonts, SVG embedding, and experimental HTML/XHTML layouting and text extraction.

Use cases

  • generate pdf invoices from rust
  • convert html to pdf in a webassembly app
  • embed fonts and unicode text in a pdf
  • extract text from pdf pages
  • render pdf pages to svg or images
  • create reports with automatic page breaks

When to choose

  • you need a pure-Rust, no-native-dependency PDF toolkit
  • you target WASM/browser environments for PDF generation
  • you need fine-grained manual control over PDF drawing ops

When to avoid

  • you need gradients, patterns, or PDF standards conformance checking
  • you need pixel-exact HTML-to-PDF rendering
  • you need embedded JavaScript or file attachments in PDFs
