Developers rarely ask about PDF standards upfront, until an accessibility audit fails or a government contract demands it. By then, the cost of choosing the wrong library has already compounded.
Many developers write about C# HTML to PDF workflows, focusing on layout, performance, and implementation. Far fewer address how these workflows align with PDF standards such as PDF/A and PDF/UA. This article examines that gap and argues for stronger standards-focused contributions in developer writing.
Developers evaluating HTML to PDF libraries have specific compliance and accessibility requirements. Sales teams who understand PDF/UA and PDF/A can engage consultatively, recommending the right solution rather than simply pitching features.
