๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcome to Vanilla.PDF

Vanilla.PDF is an open-source toolkit for generating and editing PDF documents โ€” built to follow your instructions exactly, without surprises or limitations.

Whether you're adjusting raw objects, signing files, or crafting complex documents from scratch, Vanilla.PDF offers the supreme control and flexibility you've been missing in other libraries.


๐Ÿ›  Why It Started

Vanilla.PDF began as a hobby project in 2013, born out of frustration:

  • Existing tools were unreliable or overly restrictive
  • Licenses were incompatible or too expensive
  • Fine-grained control over PDFs was practically impossible

We wanted something better โ€” so we built it.


๐Ÿš€ Why We Need Your Support

The PDF format is constantly evolving โ€” with new standards like PDF 2.0, PDF/A, and increasing demand for:

  • โœ… Text extraction, rendering, and metadata validation
  • ๐Ÿ” Language bindings for .NET, Python, Java, and more
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Prebuilt binaries across Windows, Linux, and macOS

Even with deep dedication, this can't all happen in spare time alone.
Your sponsorship helps us move faster and keep Vanilla.PDF competitive, modern, and rock-solid.


If Vanilla.PDF saved you time, improved your workflow, or inspired your project, please consider becoming a sponsor.

Every contribution helps. Thank you! โค๏ธ
