perl-App-deckjs2pdf

I take some of it back. Getting the latest version of wkhtmltopdf and telling it to wait (probably longer than necessary) to process javascript, works pretty well. wkhtmltopdf --javascript-delay 10000 --no-stop-slow-scripts 'http://bit-player.org/deck.js/limits-to-growth-Harvard-2012-03-30/ltg-talk.html#Lo…' slide.pdf It's a bit slow, and a bit too hacky for me. But this tool does the best job of those I've seen. And I've just received an email pointing me to: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?deckjs2pdf https://github.com/potyl/perl-App-deckjs2pdf that will specifically deal with Deck.JS slides.

It seems that what you want is deckjs2pdf, get it from CPAN [1] or GitHub [2] [1] http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?deckjs2pdf [2] https://github.com/potyl/perl-App-deckjs2pdf

WebKit is quite powerful and can be quite easily used for generating a PDF, SVG, PostScript of PNG in almost no effort. I wrote a simple Deck.JS [1] and S5 [2] PDF converter using a few lines of scripting. These programs take a slide presentation written in HTML5 and convert them into a portable PDF document. This is very handy since you can then share a single file that includes all graphical elements (fonts, images, layout) intact. I have a GitHub toy repo [3] where I made a few tests with WebKit. On the the programs there (screenshot.pl) even lets you use XPath to find the subnode to grab.
