A fast, simple-to-use PDF builder for iOS and macOS using Swift commands to create advanced documents.
TPPDF is a Swift library for building PDF documents on iOS and macOS. It solves the problem of programmatically creating complex PDFs with features like tables, images, and dynamic layouts without requiring deep knowledge of PDF internals. Developers use simple commands to define document structure and content, which TPPDF renders into a PDF file.
iOS and macOS developers who need to generate PDF reports, invoices, documents, or any printable content within their Swift applications.
TPPDF stands out for its balance of simplicity and power, offering an intuitive API that reduces boilerplate code while supporting advanced features like memory-efficient large file generation, table cell merging, and native progress tracking—all within a pure Swift codebase.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports headers, footers, multi-column sections, and automatic content flow, simplifying complex document structures without low-level PDF manipulation.
Features cell merging, custom styling, and automatic page breaking, making it ideal for data-rich reports and invoices with large datasets.
Generates PDFs directly to files with native progress tracking, preventing high memory usage for large documents, as highlighted in the README's optimization details.
Handles attributed strings, images with compression, and hyperlinks, enabling versatile document creation with minimal boilerplate code.
Maintained as a side-project with limited time, leading to slower response to bugs and feature requests, as admitted in the communication section.
Lacks support for forms, annotations, or other interactive elements, restricting use to static documents without advanced PDF capabilities.
Only available for iOS and macOS, not suitable for cross-platform or server-side applications, which limits its adoption in broader ecosystems.
