Product purchasing decisions vary from company to company, but here are 5 common considerations when choosing a C# PDF Library.

1. Compatibility

With IronPDF, you can develop your project across various operating systems like Windows, macOS, Linux, and Docker, and it also allows you to do it with a lot of ease and flexibility. IronPDF works with Azure, AWS, and the latest .NET Framework to quickly build cross-platform PDF documents without needing to install any third-party software or plugins. Find out more about inroads that our developers have been making on developing IronPDF into a great product.

2. Rendering Quality

We know you need our products to simply work. Rendering needs to be high quality, and high performing. When considering investing in a product like IronPDF, it needs to also have undergone thorough testing. IronPDF can render 20% faster with our latest enhancements, its quality is optimized with Chrome Rendering technology and it has passed a suite of 1156 unit & integration tests.

3. Licensing

IronPDF offers perpetual licensing options. We offer this model because our customers tell us it's their preference. Customer feedback is that it's more transparent and less complicated than other payment models. For developers and Product Managers who need budget approval, perpetual licensing gives you a single figure to itemize without needing to calculate metered or subscription fees over a project's life span. In many cases, our customers opt for the Iron Suite, so they have a more complete solution. Find out more about Iron Suite's comprehensive offerings.

4. Trust

We are proud to be selected in 2022, to present the .NET Conf, to launch .NET 7, along with industry leaders Microsoft, Github and .NET Foundation.
