+
+QuestPDF is an open-source .NET library for PDF documents generation.
+
+It offers a layout engine designed with a full paging support in mind. The document consists of many simple elements (e.g. border, background, image, text, padding, table, grid etc.) that are composed together to create more complex structures. This way, as a developer, you can understand the behavior of every element and use them with full confidence. Additionally, the document and all its elements support paging functionality. For example, an element can be moved to the next page (if there is not enough space) or even be split between pages like table's rows.

+Everything that may help you designing great reports and create reusable code that is easy to maintain.
+
+## Simplicity is the key
+
+How easy it is to start and prototype with QuestPDF? Really easy thanks to its minimal API! Please analyse the code below:
+
+```#
+using QuestPDF.Fluent;
+using QuestPDF.Helpers;
+using QuestPDF.Infrastructure;
+
+// code in your main method
+Document.Create(container =>
+{
+    container.Page(page =>
+    {
+        page.Size(PageSizes.A4);
+        page.Margin(2, Unit.Centimetre);
+        page.Background(Colors.White);
+        page.DefaultTextStyle(x => x.FontSize(20));
+        
+        page.Header()
+            .Text("Hello PDF!")
+            .SemiBold().FontSize(36).FontColor(Colors.Blue.Medium);
+        
+        page.Content()
+            .PaddingVertical(1, Unit.Centimetre)
+            .Column(x =>
+            {
+                x.Spacing(20);
+                
+                x.Item().Text(Placeholders.LoremIpsum());
+                x.Item().Image(Placeholders.Image(200, 100));
+            });
+        
+        page.Footer()
+            .AlignCenter()
+            .Text(x =>
+            {
+                x.Span("Page ");
+                x.CurrentPageNumber();
+            });
+    });
+})
+.GeneratePdf("hello.pdf");
+```
+
+And compare it to the produced PDF file:
+
+![invoice](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/QuestPDF/QuestPDF-Documentation/main/docs/public/minimal-example-shadow.png)
+
+## Are you ready for more?
+
+The Fluent API of QuestPDF scales really well. It is easy to create and maintain even most complex documents. Read [the Getting started tutorial](https://www.questpdf.com/documentation/getting-started.html) to learn QuestPDF basics and implement an invoice under 200 lines of code. You can also investigate and play with the code from [the example repository](https://github.com/QuestPDF/example-invoice).

+2022.8.0:
+
+- Improved library performance,
+- Breaking change: changed default font from Calibri to an open-source Lato,
+- Default font files are included with the nuget package, making it safe to deploy on any environment,
+- Default font files are significantly smaller, so output document files should be smaller too (up to 20x reduction in size),
+- When requested font is not available on the runtime environment, library provides list of available fonts,
+- Fixed a rare layout overflow exception with the Inlined element,
+- Fixed a memory leak connected to the HarfBuzz library.
+
+
+2022.8.1:
+- Fixed: default text style does not always work
+- Fixed: page breaking rendering does not work in very specific corner cases
+- Stability improvements for text wrapping
+- Updated stability of rendering elements in negative space
+- Optimization for the Column element: do not measure child when available height is negative
+
+2022.8.2

 ## QuestPDF Previewer
 
 The QuestPDF Previewer is a tool designed to simplify and speed up your development lifecycle. First, it shows a preview of your document. But the real magic starts with the hot-reload capability! It observes your code and updates the preview every time you change the implementation. Get real-time results without the need of code recompilation. Save time and enjoy the task!
