Run using latest version of QuestPDF and SkiaSharp.Views.Blazor

[MattParkerDev]

I can't get this to run when using the latest version of these packages. Can you try?

The tooling has changed a lot since the previews used. Also QuestPDF now uses an advanced font handling that requires HarfBuzz.

I couldn't compile it anymore with NET 6 and I guess it's just not possible. So I updated the project to NET 7. You can find a working version in the Dotnet7 branch.

When they release the first RC I will update the main branch and QuestPDF documentation, as you need to configure more things now. See the csproj of the sample for details.

Hi Pablo. Looking foward to your update. QuestPDF looks like a great tool.

The .NET team was changing things even in the Release Candidates (guess they run out of time in betas), so I decided to wait until lunch.

Version 7 will be released on 8 of November, so in a few days I will just use the final version.

For now you can check this branch

By the way, they are making the WASM tools retrocompatible with .NET 6. I need to learn how this works but installing the .NET 7 SDK should be the only requirement if you need to stay on version 6.

Hi Pablo. I do not know if you had to rework the QuestPDF solution for Blazor, but I downloaded it and it seems to work under .NET7. Thanks for your help !
