OfficeToPDF VS gotenberg

OfficetoPDF

Self hosted cognidox? https://www.cognidox.com/

My best idea right now is to use OfficeToPDF and then develop my own API endpoint with an IIS setup (which I've never used before, so this will be a mess at the beginning).

I've heard both good and bad things about https://www.cognidox.com/, might be worth a look

Use OfficeToPDF. Another alternate solution is using a PowerShell script

Use a server-side headless browser such as puppeteer to convert the HTML to PDF. This is the most reliable free option, but requires a server. If you need to use it in production, we recommend you use Gotenberg.

We're using Gotenberg[1] to convert a rendered web page (with Elixir/Phoenix, in our case) to PDF. Works like a charm and we can use our existing frontend code/styling (including SVG graph generators) which is a huge bonus.

If you also want to convert Markdown or LibreOffice formats, the self-hosted API Gotenberg is worth checking out

I found a project that does exactly that (https://github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg). It’s my best bet for now, but I still need to test GraalVM integration with JS runtimes (and test JS libraries) and the Kotlin compiler targeting Node.

Gotenberg is a Docker-based stateless API for PDF generation from HTML and Markdown files.
