Install
One command. The package is on NuGet today.
dotnet add package PDFluent --version 1.0.0-beta.6Smoke test
Open a PDF, print the page count. The example below is the smallest useful program — copy, paste, run.
csharp
using PDFluent;
using var doc = PdfDocument.Open("invoice.pdf");
Console.WriteLine($"{doc.PageCount} pages");What this is good for
- C# and F# applications on .NET 6 and newer
- Existing .NET document-processing pipelines
- On-premise enterprise back-office workloads
Current limitations
This list is honest, not exhaustive. The site-wide list lives at Known limitations.
- Public beta — APIs may shift before 1.0.
- Pin the package version during beta to avoid breaking changes.
- XFA rendering fidelity is improving alongside the Rust core.
- Native binaries currently ship for common runtimes; some less common RIDs may need a build step during beta.
Licensing
PDFluent ships with a 30-day trial built in. Every paid plan includes a perpetual-fallback licence — your build keeps working at the version you licensed, indefinitely. Details on the licensing page.
