Roadmap ​

Next release 2023.6 ​

1. Merging QuestPDF documents into one PDF file during the generation process.
2. IntelliSense XML documentation support for all public API methods.
3. Optimization of FluentAPI implementation.

Long-term focus ​

1. Iterative documentation improvements:
   • Improve documentation about each building element: offer more precise behavior descriptions, API references, and more examples,
   • Investigate better connectivity between code examples, e.g., by generating clickable links in the code,
   • Shorten and simplify the Getting Started tutorial,
   • Record a short video introducing the basic concepts of QuestPDF.
2. Improved text capabilities and language support:
   • Unicode-compliant bi-directional and LTR/RTL Text Support (UAX #9),
   • Unicode-compliant word-break algorithm (UAX #14).
3. Support for tagged PDFs.
4. Automated font subsetting to reduce output file size.
5. New QuestPDF Previewer application to enhance the development experience.

Under consideration ​

Previewer tool improvements ​

• Add support for SectionLinks,
• Add support for Hyperlinks,
• Improved UI for general exceptions,
• Interactive UI for infinite-layout exceptions,
• Investigation: per-page performance measurement,
• Investigation: content and elements inspection.

Other ideas ​

• Throw exception (debug mode only) when there is no font style close enough to current text style (e.g. no font with italic bold version),
• Investigation on how to simplify unit tests and make them easier to manage,
• Relative elements: alignment and translate,
• Text truncating,
• Custom slots in components (named slots, dynamic slots).
