Updated QuestPDF from 2026.7.0 to 2026.7.3.

Release notes

Sourced from QuestPDF's releases.

2026.7.3

• Breaking change: The Rotate API now rotates elements around their center instead of the top-left corner. Center-origin rotation is the expected behavior in virtually all use cases.
• Behavioral change: Generated images now use a white background by default, so the output matches how the document appears in a PDF viewer. Previously, PNG and WEBP images had a transparent background. To restore the old behavior, enable ImageGenerationSettings.UseTransparentBackground (applies only to formats supporting transparency: PNG and WEBP).
• Automated table semantic tagging is now applied whenever a Table element is placed inside a SemanticTable container, even indirectly. Nested semantic captions are now supported as well.
• Image elements now emit the /BBox attribute, improving PDF/UA-1 compliance with validators that require it.
• Improved the stability and speed of the QuestPDF Companion integration. The integration now requires .NET 8 or newer.
• Improved the developer experience of the GeneratePdfAndShow and GenerateXpsAndShow methods.
• Deprecated AsSemanticHorizontalHeader in favor of SemanticHorizontalHeader for API naming consistency.
• Deprecated RotateLeft and RotateRight in favor of RotateLayoutCounterclockwise and RotateLayoutClockwise, which better describe what these methods do.

2026.7.2

• Fixed a rare Windows x64 concurrency issue where generated PDF documents appeared correct in viewers, but selected and copied text was corrupted.
• Improved text rendering representation to resolve rare compatibility issues in certain PDF viewers that could cause incorrect results when selecting or copying text.
• Improved compatibility for complex glyphs, such as ligatures, by annotating them with the /ActualText tag. This improves text selection, copying, extraction, and screen-reader accessibility. Ligatures remain disabled by default.
• Added support for the AllowModification permission in DocumentOperations when encrypting PDF documents with 128-bit or 256-bit keys.
• Added minor fixes and expanded test coverage for the DocumentOperations API.

2026.7.1

Improved performance

PDF generation is now significantly faster. The Skia native dependency has been recompiled with speed-oriented optimizations (favoring performance over binary size) and with SIMD instructions enabled.

The impact depends on document content and platform. For example, generating image-heavy documents that require image rescaling can be several times faster on Windows x64 🎉

Note: this change slightly increases the size of the native dependency by around 20%.

Continuous performance monitoring

We have also built a solid foundation for measuring library performance going forward. A new GitHub Actions workflow benchmarks QuestPDF across all supported operating systems, processor architectures, and .NET releases.

This infrastructure helps us ensure that performance remains stable and consistent across all platforms, and allows us to detect regressions early — before they ever reach a release.
