PD4ML.NET. HTML to PDF converter 3.2.4 (fin

PD4ML is a powerful PDF generating tool uses HTML and CSS as page layout and content definition format. 100% managed code, it allows users to easily add PDF generation functionality to end products.

PD4ML is encapsulated in an easy-to-deploy set of DLLs and it does not rely on any unsafe native components (like MS IE/Firefox/Mozilla renderer): it is based on proprietary HTML rendering engine, optimized for PDF layout generation. The rendering engine implements most of HTML4/CSS2 standard features plus a number of custom PDF-generation-specific functions: pagination control, headers/footers generation, watermarking, TOC generation etc.
