PdfReport.Core is a code first reporting engine, which is built on top of the iTextSharp.LGPLv2.Core and EPPlus.Core libraries.
PdfReport.Core supports wide range of the data sources from dynamic lists to in memory strongly typed lists without needing the database. It saves your time from searching and learning a lot of tips and tricks of iTextSharp and EPPlus libraries. It's designed to be compatible with RTL languages.
To install PdfReport, run the following command in the Package Manager Console:
PM> Install-Package PdfRpt.Core
You can also view the package page on NuGet.
The SkiaSharp library needs extra dependencies to work on Linux and containers. Please install the following NuGet packages:
PM> Install-Package SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux.NoDependencies
PM> Install-Package HarfBuzzSharp.NativeAssets.Linux
You also need to modify your .csproj file to include some MSBuild directives that ensure the required files are in a good place. These extra steps are normally not required but seems to be some issues on how .NET loads them.
