XtudioPdf for Visual Studio

Design invoices, receipts, thermal tickets and reports visually, inside Visual Studio, and generate them as PDF from your .NET code in milliseconds.

Features

Double-click a .pdfx file to open the visual designer in a Visual Studio tab, with a live PDF preview. Save with Ctrl+S.
Right-click a project or folder → Add → XtudioPdf document… to create a new template together with its sample data, DTO and report class.
Right-click a .pdfx to open it in the designer or as JSON.
Zero setup: the first time you open a template, the extension installs the xtudiopdf designer tool for you and keeps it up to date.
English or Spanish, following the designer's language.

What you can build

Tables that span pages with running totals and groups, charts, QR and barcodes, amount in words, watermarks, PDF/A, digital signatures with timestamps, and the e-invoice XML attached inside the PDF. Templates are embedded in your assembly and checked against your DTO at build time.

Getting started

Add the package to your project: dotnet add package XtudioPdf.AspNetCore (or XtudioPdf.Core for non-web projects).
Right-click a folder → Add → XtudioPdf document…
Design it, save, build, and render it from your code:

builder.Services.AddPdfReports();
// ...
byte[] pdf = report.Render(invoice);
