Rivoli PDF / Generate reports PDF C#
Generate report PDFs in C# with tables, charts, and TOCs
Quarterly reviews, account statements, audit exports: reports are structured documents, and Rivoli PDF is a structured-document engine. Multi-page tables with repeating headers, vector charts on the built-in canvas, and page numbering that just works.
Install and generate
No system libraries, no headless browser, no per-platform setup. Rivoli.Pdf 0.1.0 targets .NET 8 and .NET 10.
using Rivoli.Pdf;
using Rivoli.Pdf.Builders;
var doc = Document.Create("Quarterly Report", "Acme Corp");
doc.AddSection()
.H1("Quarterly Report")
.AddParagraph("Revenue grew 18% over the prior quarter.")
.AddTable(t => t
.Header("Quarter", "Revenue")
.Row("Q1", "$1.2M")
.Row("Q2", "$1.5M"));
doc.SavePdf("report.pdf");The charts report sample in the repository builds bar and line charts on the vector canvas, adds a table of contents with page references, and repeats table headers across pages.
The output
Real output from the runnable samples in the Rivoli PDF repository.

Competitor prices are researched approximations (June 2026); several vendors are now quote-gated, so some figures are historical or third-party. Rivoli PDF is pre-1.0: document creation is feature-complete, while full parsing of arbitrary PDFs and rasterized rendering are partial and on the near-term roadmap.

Moving your reporting pipeline
Whether reports come from a reporting server, HTML conversion, or a drawing API today, the structure maps directly.
- 01 Break each report into sections with headings; heading styles drive both the visual hierarchy and the tagged structure tree.
- 02 Port data tables to Table with repeating headers; long tables paginate automatically.
- 03 Draw charts with the vector canvas (rectangles, lines, paths) or embed images rendered elsewhere.
- 04 Put headers, footers, and page numbers on the section, not on each page; the layout engine repeats them.
- 05 Before migrating reading-heavy workflows (filling existing forms, rendering pages to images), check current support in the docs gallery: Rivoli PDF is pre-1.0 and strongest at authoring.
The full migration guide, with concept mappings and before/after code, lives in the documentation.
