I am beginning a class library for a PDF project, but I am not sure of which type of class library to target: .NET Core? .NET Framework? .NET Standard? Universal Windows?

I would like for my library to be usable by both UWP and WPF and possibly Windows Forms and ASP.NET applications. Will any one of these class library types work for that goal?

    I would use a .net standard library. It can be used my .net core, .net framework, and xamarin.

    What are you trying to get your library to do?
