athenapdf

We use pajed.js in conjunction with Arachnys/AthenaPdf [1] for HTML to PDF conversion, its a pretty nice experience. 1. https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf

Seems to be useful, as https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf done pretty similar thing.

Core developer of `athenapdf` here :) I had a quick look at `pdf-bot`, and though we both rely on the same underlying technology (we are only just moving to headless Chromium; we were on Electron before), I believe we have slightly different ambitions with our respective project. But, I may be biased. For example, `pdf-bot` seems to be tied exclusively to a specific converter, and storage backend. With `athenapdf` however, we are moving more, and more towards building a toolkit or rather, framework for other people to construct their own conversion processes (or even microservice)[0]. Consequently, we are working towards general abstractions like fetching, converting, and uploading, that can have different implementations (e.g. wkhtmltopdf, LibreOffice, Weasyprint, etc). With our microservice assembly as well, we are focused heavily on en

This is interesting :-) I am currently using athenapdf[1] but I will have a play with pdf-bot. [1] https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf

checkout https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf. Its based on electron.

If you need a real good alternative checkout https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf it's based on electron.

Arachnys | Frontend, backend and data engineers | London, New York We help organisations from banks to charities solve their compliance problems, focussing on AML/KYC checks and deeper investigative dives - for instance, our software was used by the ICIJ to dig into the Panama Papers. Think big Hadoop clusters sucking in feeds from thousands of sources in over 100 languages and making sense of it. Lots of the clever things we do are in-house, but we also participate in open source: see https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf and https://github.com/arachnys/cabot for side projects that have got lots of community traction. https://www.arachnys.com/jobs/

Please stress-test and feel free to submit problem cases as issues to the github repo [0]. "Aggressive mode", which leverages Chromium's "simplify page" mode, might do some of what you want, but typically you need some of the funky print css classes to enforce widows/orphans. The main reason we have built this however is that wkhtmltopdf just crashes all the time. Other commenters seem to agree. We'd love feedback on whether Athena works in cases that other tools fail, as well as on quality of conversion. [0]: https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf

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 [1] is utterly ridiculous. I don't know the background of this project, so there may be some important detail I'm missing, but it seems they would have done better to set up a stable wkhtmltopdf Dockerfile microservice instead, and avoid all of the wrapper code entirely. Cool as a demo of what's possible with tech today; less cool as a demo of how many hoops you can jump through to reproduce existing functionality.
