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
