A Swift wrapper for UIGraphics PDF context to create simple PDFs with text, images, tables, and layout controls on iOS.
SimplePDF is a Swift library for iOS that provides a high-level wrapper around the UIGraphics PDF context. It enables developers to programmatically create PDF documents by adding text, images, tables, and managing layout with minimal code, simplifying a typically complex task.
iOS developers who need to generate PDFs within their apps, such as for reports, invoices, or document exports, without diving into low-level Core Graphics APIs.
It offers a clean, intuitive API that reduces boilerplate code and accelerates PDF creation, making it an efficient alternative to manual Core Graphics implementations for common use cases.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides simple methods like addText and addImage that abstract Core Graphics complexity, making PDF creation accessible with minimal code, as shown in the example usage.
Supports horizontal and vertical arrangements with alignment and spacing adjustments, enabling precise content placement without manual calculations.
Includes text with custom fonts and colors, images, attributed text, lines, and tables, covering most common PDF elements needed for reports or invoices.
Available via Cocoapods with clear installation steps, reducing setup time and allowing quick adoption in iOS projects.
Built on UIGraphics and iOS-specific APIs, so it cannot be used for cross-platform development or server-side generation, restricting its scope.
Lacks support for interactive elements like hyperlinks, forms, or annotations, which are common in professional PDF tools, limiting its use for complex documents.
Table creation is simplified and may not handle advanced needs like merged cells, nested tables, or complex styling, as evidenced by the basic table definition in the README.
