What is the comparison here? IronPDF takes an html file and renders it as PDF. Nicely, I would add. But Quest is a library to create the actual content and generate that as a pdf. Can Iron design and create the content as well as generating the pdf from HTML? Seems like they are two different tools for two different use cases? Am I wrong about my observation?

This is a waste of time to watch. You compare apples with pears and decide that your apples are better. QuestPdf has a different approach in generating a pdf using a fluent api and is doing a fine job in that. It is not fair to QuestPdf that Iron Software is posting this very biased video.

Why is it that a lot of companies I know still use WkHtml and generate PDFs from HTML? When doing samples, how about corner cases: importing images, tables with repeating headers, footer/header with current page number... (did I miss anything)?
