Converting html to a pdf is the worst thing to do ever.

why not render it with phantom js and render it to a PDF?

Used to think PDF was amazing for documents...then had to get data out of a PDF...don't think anything else needs to be said.

@kanduvisla that looks like it could be very useful, however I am not in a position to suggest new a frame work or process. There are already several places in our web app that generates pdf's from html. Granted they are not including images, which seems to be my downfall.

some day soon, I'm gonna need this thread.

I can recommend mPDF (PHP). Was using DomPDF but that thig has so many undocumented random bugs (Including infinite loops on nested tables...)

Wrap the HTML in an electron app and bundle it up.. Look mom I don't even need Adobe to read it. Just kidding. HTML to PDF sucks.. Wait PDF sucks lol.

in ASP i use abcpdf to build pdf output - you can write html to the document

absolutly, we found PhantomJS working good.

Wkhtmltopdf is the best I've found, but still quirky and even harder when going through Drupal. This took up all last week.

@dkomito that is what I am using, and what other devs have used at work. However none of them are generating pdf's with images which is where everything is exploding for me.

stretch your window to be A4 width. take a picture. save picture to PDF. Looks just like it did on the web :-) tehehe

Adobe Acrobat can do this :/

@ghostlkr hmmm images haven't been a problem for me, but It's not surprising.

@dkomito I am displaying a grid of products in a table, and there is always at least one row on one of the pages that add about 50px or more of padding throwing off the entire page.

@ghostlkr Ah! I experienced a problem with tables adding an extra page. I think table{ table-layout: fixed } helped in one instance, but had to just give-up and use floated divs.

@ghostlkr I think had some success when the table was not the last element as well.

Its really interesting
