"A Swift utility for converting SwiftUI views into exportable PDF documents. Designed for generating invoices, reports, and formatted content natively using PDFKit and FileManager — no third-party dependencies required."
Adds what it's actually useful for, highlights that it's zero dependencies (that's a selling point for open source), and keeps it concise. Want me to update the README file with this?
- Convert any SwiftUI view into a PDF document
- Built entirely with native Apple frameworks (SwiftUI, PDFKit, FileManager)
- Handles complex view hierarchies and layout-to-document conversion
- Simple API for generating and saving PDFs locally
- Swift
- SwiftUI — view composition and layout
- PDFKit — PDF generation and rendering
- FileManager — local file storage and management
- Xcode 15.0+
- iOS 17.0+
- Swift 5.9+
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/tade-dev/PdfRenderImplementation.git- Open the project in Xcode:
cd PdfRenderImplementation
open PdfRenderImplementation.xcodeproj- Build and run on a simulator or device.
The project takes SwiftUI views and renders them into a PDF context using Apple's native rendering pipeline. This allows you to design your document layout visually in SwiftUI and export it as a production-ready PDF — useful for generating invoices, reports, certificates, or any printable content directly from your app.
- Invoice and receipt generation
- Report exports from in-app data
- Certificate or badge creation
- Any scenario where users need to save or share formatted content as a PDF
