I've used this one with great success (and its free): https://github.com/tuespetre/TuesPechkin

its basically a wrapper for wkhtmltopdf but I develop an app that has probably generated a million +/- invoices/statements over the past 5 years with it, and its been rock solid for me. Was a bit of a bear to get it working the first time (not a ton of documentation that I could find at the time), but once working, was easy to add/change new documents/layouts.

As it uses wkhtmltopdf under to covers, it is a HTML->PDF tool, but I prefer that, at least for my use case.

Not sure there is a dotnet-core version, so that might be a problem for some.



I've been using Rotativa[1] for URL to PDF generation which is also a wrapper for wkhtmltopdf. They have a dotnet-core[2] version and also a SaaS[3] but it's worth mentioning that Azure PaaS supports wkhtmltopdf[4] so I just self-host.

Looking at QuestPDF's API docs, it doesn't look like they support URL / HTML to PDF generation. I think this would be a great addition especially given the age and issues with Rotativa and TuesPechkin on their public repos.
