IronPDF Slim Version Explained
What is IronPdf.Slim?
IronPdf.Slim can be used to reduce the initial deployment size. This is useful in environments where the initial package size is limited, such as AWS Lambda, with IronPDF being installed to a container. Additional information on this package are as follows:
- IronPdf.Slim contains just the IronPdf.dll
- Supports ALL platforms but does NOT include Windows, Linux, or MacOS specific dependencies
- Useful for cross-platform solutions/highly portable applications where the target platform is unknown
- It requires the installation of the IronSoftware.Native.PdfModel package.
IronPdf.Native.Chrome dependency packages that contain Chrome rendering engine binaries for specific OS (Windows/Linux/MacOs/MacOs.ARM) will be downloaded at runtime. To ensure successful operation:
