Hello,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your question here.

I understand that you are still getting errors after adding Type for the QuestPDF license configuration in your .NET MAUI project.

From the screenshot, the main issue is that the code is placed directly inside the class body, but it needs to be inside the CreateMauiApp() method. Also, the QuestPDF license setting should be QuestPDF.Settings.License, not QuestPDF.Settings.LicenseType.

Please update your MauiProgram.cs like this:

using CommunityToolkit.Maui;
using QuestPDF.Infrastructure;

namespace Handle_PDF_MauiApp1;

public static class MauiProgram
{
    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
    {
        QuestPDF.Settings.License = LicenseType.Community;

        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();

        builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .UseMauiCommunityToolkit();

        return builder.Build();
    }
}

Also, please make sure the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit NuGet package is installed in your project. Otherwise, UseMauiCommunityToolkit() will still show an error.

So the key changes are:

Put the code inside public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()

Use QuestPDF.Settings.License = LicenseType.Community;

Make sure using QuestPDF.Infrastructure; is added

Make sure using CommunityToolkit.Maui; is added

Confirm that the CommunityToolkit.Maui NuGet package is installed

You can also refer to the official QuestPDF license configuration documentation here: https://www.questpdf.com/license/configuration.html

And the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit setup documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/communitytoolkit/maui/get-started

I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions, steps or clarifications.

Hello @Jonathan ,

Thanks for your question.

I apologize for not being able to assist you previously. After conducting a more thorough investigation, I have identified the issue.

Please put code inside a method, you can refer to my code example:

MauiProgram.cs:

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using QuestPDF.Infrastructure;

namespace TestPDF
{
    public static class MauiProgram
    {
        public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
        {
            var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
            builder
                .UseMauiApp<App>()
                .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
                {
                    fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                    fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
                });

#if DEBUG
            builder.Logging.AddDebug();
#endif
            QuestPDF.Settings.License = LicenseType.Community;
            return builder.Build();
        }
    }
}

Please check whether, when using QuestPDF, the import statement is grayed out. I mean to confirm whether it is being used or not. If it is not used, I recommend checking the .csproj file and sharing it with me.

I tested this on my end and it works.

Hi @Jonathan ,

Since I did not use CommunityToolkit, my code was slightly different from yours. In case your code uses CommunityToolkit, you can refer to the new following code example:

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using QuestPDF.Infrastructure;
using CommunityToolkit.Maui;

namespace TestPDF
{
    public static class MauiProgram
    {
        public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
        {
            var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();

            builder
                .UseMauiApp<App>()
                .UseMauiCommunityToolkit()
                .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
                {
                    fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                    fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
                });

#if DEBUG
            builder.Logging.AddDebug();


#endif
            QuestPDF.Settings.License = LicenseType.Community;
            return builder.Build();
        }
    }
}

Furthermore, please follow these steps if you have not already done so:

Please install missing packages if you have not already installed

dotnet add package CommunityToolkit.Maui
dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug

Clean & Rebuild the solution completely

Build → Clean Solution
Build → Rebuild Solution

Check your .csproj file and make sure it contains:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="CommunityToolkit.Maui" Version="..." />
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug" Version="..." />
  <PackageReference Include="QuestPDF" Version="..." />
</ItemGroup>

Make sure you have the proper using for CommunityToolkit at the top if you're calling .UseMauiCommunityToolkit().
