Getting Started

Building a PDF document is very easy:

First, you create a document with a paperformat…

let document = PDFDocument(format: .a4)

…then you add your information to a container…

document.add(.contentCenter, text: "Create PDF documents easily.")

…then you render the document…

let generator = PDFGenerator(document: document)
let url  = try generator.generateURL(filename: "Example.pdf")

…done!

Communication

Attention:

TPPDF is an Open Source side-project of techprimate. As we are currently working on multiple other projects, we only have limited time for fixing bugs and enhancing TPPDF.

That’s why any issue reporting and especially Pull Requests are very welcome!

If you need professional support for your company, you can reach out to @philprimes on Twitter or on our website techprimate.com! This is mainly for custom or high-priority requests, therefore we won’t publish a consulting pricing for now.

For everything else, please see Communication and this message. Thank you!
