Reducing Package Size in IronPDF Projects
I am trying to use IronPDF, but I am being held up due to the size of the DLL.
For environments that are restricted by initial package size (example: AWS Lambda), please use IronPdf.Slim.
This package contains the IronPdf.dll, but you will then need to set Installation.AutomaticallyDownloadNativeBinaries = true to have the IronPdf.Native.Chrome package for your platform downloaded at runtime.
Work-around
If targeting a specific target runtime, you can delete the /runtimes folder not in use (either x86 or x64).
Long-term
Iron Software will split editing functions and HTML-rendering into two separate packages.
This will benefit customers who do not require HTML-to-PDF rendering.
Feature Requests
Please contact support@ironsoftware.com if you would like to see separate x86 and x64 package versions.
