• PDF Generation, Bloat and Optimization

  WKHTMLTOPDF (LGPLv3; portable) tends to be faster and generate smaller PDFs. It can also run concurrently and generate PDFs in the background without using a ColdFusion thread or impacting the Java heap memory. Download. - Source: dev.to / 22 days ago

• Hack WKHTMLTOPDF PDF to enable Adobe Acrobat Field Editing

  I recently integrated the auto-generation of survey results into a downloadable PDF using ColdFusion and WKHTMLTOPDF 0.12.6. Our client provided a pre-generated PDF cover page with some editable fields that we prepended to the PDF using PDFtk. Unfortunately, all auto-generated bookmarks became unusable after cover page is prepended. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Embed a Full HTML Document Inline Using Shadow DOM

  We use ColdFusion/CFML to generate valid HTML documents for PDF generation using jsoup & WKHTMLTOPDF. If the generated HTML content is simply outputted onto an existing webpage, the webpage becomes invalid (due to double DOCTYPE "inception") and the website's global CSS styles will polluting the preview. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Htmldocs: Typeset and Generate PDFs with HTML/CSS

  Wkhtmltopdf[1] uses the QT WebKit renderer. I used it as part of my job hut work-flow with pandoc to get pdf resumes from markdown. It got me a job, so there's that. [1] https://wkhtmltopdf.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• HexaPDF: Versatile PDF creation and manipulation library in Ruby

  I've been using WkhtmlToPdf all this while, so this seems a better option to try since it's pure Ruby. https://wkhtmltopdf.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Generate pdf with gitbook or mdbook url

  In 2014 we used wkhtmltopdf[0] to generate PDF copies of Cloudfoundry docs for every version every release, and maybe that's what I'd reach for now. Not sure if Qt WebKit has similar limits as Chromium. Not that you asked, but I am sitting here silently judging whoever let those pages get that large. Enough html to cap out RAM? Chesterton's Fence dictates that I presume your upstream's hands were tied, but wowee!... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Writerside – a new technical writing environment from JetBrains

  In most cases no, AsciiDoctor-PDF converter uses the Ruby library PDF library Prawn to generate PDFs, However, there are alternative PDF converters which do convert from HTML (the VSC AsciiDoctor plug-in allows the option to use a different converter), but I don't think they use chrome. Please note that using different pdf converters is a bit of an advanced topic. https://wkhtmltopdf.org/, and asciidoctor-web-pdf. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Generate invoice PDF file using HTML template

  There are multiple options for how to convert HTML to PDF, one could be by using open-source projects like Puppeteer or wkhtmltopdf. I wrote a separate post How to convert HTML to PDF using Puppeteer, but now for simplicity, I going to use html2pdf.app. Its free plan gives 100 credits per month, excellent! - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Fixed width tables in PDFs

  Of the HTML-based pdf-engines pandoc supports, prince would have the best typography, but I don't like recommending Prince because it's proprietary and costs money. (I try to stick to open source when I can.) wkhtmltopdf is the fastest, but uses a pretty old codebase, and doesn't even support paged/print css. Weasyprint is a little better in my experience, but still has a ways to go typographically. pagedjs-cli is... Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there any program that helps you build your own bestiary for homebrew settings?

  Since the srd uses standardized links (base/creature type/creature name) you could make a list of urls based on your selected monsters in a spreadsheet, then use a program like https://wkhtmltopdf.org/, https://www.weenysoft.com/free-html-to-pdf-converter.html, or the url conversion feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro if you combine all the urls into an htm for Acrobat to pull from.

• Use Exiv2 to extract GPS data from Images using CFML

  Disclaimer: I stopped using many BIFs years ago in favor of dropping down to the command line and either using CFExecute or CFX_Exec[http://adiabata.com/cfx_exec.cfm] to run apps like WKHTMLTOPDF (for PDF generation) and GraphicsMagick (for image manipulation). The result has been faster performance, higher quality results (data or display-wise) and the ability to perform tasks offline and/or concurrently. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
