PDF library for ASP.NET Core 2.0 (on the full .Net Framework)?

Greetings

I created a ASP.NET Core 2.0 project on the full .NET Framework because apparently you can do that now.

I intended to use the PDFSharp library to generate downloadable reports until I learned that this library is heavily dependent on the GUI and is thus unsupported in .NET Core. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have not yet managed to test.

Does anyone know of any commercially-usable alternatives that can work on .NET Core 2.0 on the full .NET Framework, or will PDF Sharp work because I apparently have access to the full .NET Framework now?

Thanks

EDIT: I stopped being lazy and tested out Pdfsharp on ASP.NET Core 2.0 on full .NET Framework. It seems to work fine. I hope this helps someone.

EDIT 2: It appears that GDI+, which PDF Sharp needs, is not available on Azure App Service, where I intended to host this website. What are my options?
