wkhtmltopdf frustrates me to no end. I've even got a wrapper script to help iterate through it's various major versions and option flags in an attempt to get usable PDFs. I…

Hello, current maintainer of wkhtmltopdf here. This looks like an interesting approach, as Qt/WebKit is effectively unsupported. wkhtmltopdf is further hampered by the fact that…

It's not that bad. On my system, starting and cleaning up a Docker container costs about 800ms, whereas running wkhtmltopdf on the New York Times home page takes ~4sec.

Using docker means that you don't have to install any of these dependencies on your computer, and, if it's setup correctly, it runs sandboxes from the rest of my system. So it's…

If you already have Docker running this is a no brainer. The Docker daemon is light weight and starting new containers takes milliseconds is the image is already on your machine…

Cool project, but firing up docker to convert a website to a PDF is just silly.

Too much overhead for the occasional batch report from an embedded system. A replacement for wkhtmltopdf would be nice, though.

This isn't a package replacement, it's a microservice in a Docker container. Replacing one package with three is nothing to be proud of. Replacing one with 13 plus wrapper code…

Agreed (and same). I get that it's hard to convert web elements (via Chrome) to a readable/nice PDF, but wkhtmltopdf really isn't the miracle tool it is made out to be. Like you,…

wkhtmltopdf doesn't frustrate me a lot. Except when doing multiple pages and multiple table, footers and headers, splitting tables correctly. Ow yeah, and the difference with…

Does docker have a single system to report included libraries up to management, so that when, for example, there's a major hole in openssl or nginx or a php library or the…

We started off using wkhtmltopdf for the reporting module in our application to generate PDF's. After using that for a while and searching far and wide for an alternative, we…

We are thinking about moving to PrinceXml from java flyingsaucer which doesn't deal with newer html construct. Looks to be really good but good to have other feedbacks.
