[dependabot]

Updated QuestPDF from 2024.12.3 to 2025.7.4.

Release notes

Sourced from QuestPDF's releases.

2025.7.4

• Fixed the DocumentOperation.ExtendMetadata operation to preserve /Metadata tag attributes (/Subtype /XML) and improve compatibility with the Mustang validation tool for ZUGFeRD files.

2025.7.3

• Fixed an issue that caused the PDF generation process to fail when the application lacked file access permissions to the default temporary folder.
• Added support for specifying a custom temporary storage path through the QuestPDF.Settings.TemporaryStoragePath property.

2025.7.2

• Disabled standard ligatures by default, as they often interfere with text copying and may pose accessibility issues,
• Performance has been improved when generating multiple text-heavy documents at the same time. The more concurrent operations and text elements involved, the more noticeable the benefit,
• Improved the developer experience by updating the behavior of the GeneratePdfAndShow method to always create a uniquely named file. It ensures that certain PDF viewers automatically refresh the preview,
• Fixed exception triggered when generating a PDF without defining a Page in the Fluent API,
• Increased test coverage,
• Minor bug fixes and improvements.

2025.7.1

• Fixed a significant memory leak in document operations involving overlay or underlay,
• Fixed a minor memory leak in general document operations (e.g., merge, save with password),
• Updated the Skia dependency to M140,
• Removed unnecessary dependencies on Linux and macOS (OpenSSL, libjpeg-turbo) to improve compatibility across more platforms.

2025.7.0

• Line element: Added gradient and dashed pattern support
• Background element: Added linear gradient (multiple colors, arbitrary angle) and rounded corners
• Border element: Added linear gradient (multiple colors, arbitrary angle), rounded corners, and alignment options (inside, outside, center)
• Shadow element (new): Added blur, color, offset, and spread support
• Internal: Introduced visual snapshot testing for the generation process
• Updated Skia dependency to M138

2025.6.0-rc0

• Line element: Added gradient and dashed pattern support
• Background element: Added linear gradient (multiple colors, arbitrary angle) and rounded corners
• Border element: Added linear gradient (multiple colors, arbitrary angle), rounded corners, and alignment options (inside, outside, center)
• Shadow element (new): Added blur, color, offset, and spread support
• Internal: Introduced visual snapshot testing for the generation process

2025.5.1

• Reduced peak memory usage when generating PDF files by properly implementing a stream-based API,
• Fixed the exception message displayed when the library cannot successfully parse the provided text as a color.

2025.5.0

• Feature: Added the CaptureContentPosition API, allowing developers to inspect the exact position and size of arbitrary content. This enables the generation of dynamic, related content within the DynamicComponent, enhancing flexibility for complex layout requirements.
• Enhancement: Changed the default page background color from white to transparent, which reduces developer confusion during document operations such as content overlaying. Only JPEG images are rendered with a white background.
• Fix: ShowIfContext.TotalPages is now set to null during the initial rendering phase to avoid confusion when using the ShowIf API.
• Fix: Improved memory management in the Companion App workflow by immediately disposing of native resources.

2025.4.4

Updated native dependencies:

• Skia updated to version m137
• Qpdf updated to version 12.2.0
• OpenSSL updated to version 3.5.0

2025.4.2

• Updated the Skia library to version m136,
• Updated the NuGet package README,
• Added DocumentOperation.Decrypt featre to remove encryption from PDF documents,
• Added DocumentOperation.RemoveRestrictions feature,
• Improved availability of native resources on the legacy .NET Framework,
• Fixed compatibility with Unity3D on Linux and macOS builds,
• Fixed encryption of PDF files with 40-bit keys,
• Fixed encryption of PDF files with 128-bit keys.

2025.4.0

• Introduced a new Z-Index feature that allows you to alter the rendering order of content, ensuring elements are displayed in the correct sequence regardless of their definition order,
• Added automated caching mechanism for Shared Image API to improve performance of static assets,
• Fixed text measuring issues where Skia doesn't properly respect maxWidth when planning layouts, particularly with small maxWidth values,
• Fixed rendering artifacts occurring at container edges when text spans multiple pages,
• Optimized rendering performance for lengthy text elements,
• Enhanced the EnsureSpace and PreventPageBreak elements to provide more consistent page layout management,
• Improved XPS generation to throw exceptions when encountering non-Windows operating systems,
• Added argument validation for Fluent API to prevent unpredictable behavior,
• Redesigned Column implementation for improved stability and layout consistency,
• Fixed incorrect URL in obsolete message for Skia Canvas API (contributed by user-named-void).

2025.1.7

• Enhanced Layout Issue Debugging Algorithm,
• Fixed a memory leak related to rendering text elements with page numbers,
• Added finalizer warnings to various classes to help prevent memory leaks in the future,
• Optimized memory management for native objects across multiple areas,
• Adjusted the QPDF implementation to reliably handle non-ASCII content using a UTF-8 marshaler,
• Improved cross-platform compatibility by including required dependencies for macOS,
• Fixed: the Line element was rendered in an incorrect position.

2025.1.6

• Likely fixed a memory leak related to layout calculation caching by adjusting how Skia objects are used,
• Optimized memory usage by disposing native objects as early as possible in many rare scenarios, such as when an exception is thrown during generation,
• Improved caching algorithm accuracy,
• Updated skia native dependency to version 134,
• Updated qpdf native dependency to version 11.10.1,
• Updated OpenSSL native dependency to version 3.4.1.

2025.1.5

• Fixed: EnsureSpace did not render its content in some cases.

2025.1.4

• Added support for creating empty containers that can be injected into the document, significantly enhancing component extensibility.
• Added new element: PreventPageBreak.
• Updated in-code links to documentation to reflect recent changes.
• Fixed: AspectRatio element rarely positioned its content incorrectly.
• Fixed: The Row element incorrectly calculated the size of AutoItem when it contained text representing page numbers
• Fixed: Paragraph spacing was not applied when a span contained only a newline.

2025.1.3

• Fixed a rare layout rendering bug in the Table element.
• Improved memory management for Shared Image API by adjusting GC Memory Pressure.
• Fixed a bug in the DocumentOperation.AddAttachment method that incorrectly detected the file's MIME type when it was not explicitly provided.
• Added a new Placeholders.WebpageUrl() method.

2025.1.2

• Adjusted the behavior of Row.AutoItem to preserve its size when a Row element spans multiple pages.
• Improved Linux compatibility by including the necessary native dependencies (OpenSSL and libjpeg-turbo).

2025.1.1

• Fixed rarely broken text alignment caused by too aggressive cache optimization.

2025.1.0

• Implemented a Lazy element that delays content creation to reduce memory usage and enhance garbage collection efficiency in large documents.
• Optimization: releasing native objects as early as possible to reduce peak memory usage,
• Various performance and memory optimizations,
• Increased maximum level of parallelism from 2 to 4.

2025.1.0-rc0
