It worked: drop a PDF path into the config, call Print() , labels came out. Fast-forward to 2026, and the same codebase is hitting .NET 8 migration blockers, the Pdfium binaries throw x64/x86 loader errors in containers, and nobody on the current team has touched VB.NET-style app.config XML in years. PDFFilePrint is a .NET Framework 4.0 printing utility built around Google's Pdfium rendering engine.
