Overview

The Markdown to PDF Converter is a component of the HiQPdf Next Library for .NET that enables accurate conversion of complex Markdown documents to PDF.

The library targets .NET Standard 2.0 and can be used in .NET Core and .NET Framework applications that you can deploy on Windows and Linux platforms, including Azure App Service, Azure Functions or Docker.

Package structure

HiQPdf Next for .NET has a modular architecture, with separate NuGet packages for each major component to prevent unnecessary files from being included in your applications.

The Markdown to PDF Converter is implemented as an add-on for the HiQPdf Next HTML to PDF Converter for .NET component and they must be referenced together in the same project.

You can use it with the HiQPdf Next HTML to PDF Converter NuGet packages HiQPdf.Next.HtmlToPdf.Windows and HiQPdf.Next.HtmlToPdf.Linux for specific target platforms, or with the multi-platform package HiQPdf.Next.HtmlToPdf.

As an alternative, you can use the metapackages for all components HiQPdf.Next.Windows and HiQPdf.Next.Linux for specific target platforms, or the multi-platform package HiQPdf.Next, which is a more convenient option if you are also using other components of the library.
