   #Unidoc is a #PDF generation #library for the Go programming language. Arguably one of the best such tools available, by the same experienced team of the Fox PDF tools.

   2) Be a horrible, selfish person and buy a commercial licence for $1000 (personal use) or $3000 (for business, unlimited servers)
