WeasyPrint VS WKHTMLToPDF

I’d recommend Weasyprint (.net core wrapper) instead of wkhtmltopdf. It supports CSS Paged Media which is pretty much required for everything but the simplest of HTML2PDF conversions.

you can convert html to pdf using https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint

Yeah, in the Python world there's WeasyPrint for PDF out in the wild as well. It's quite slick, but it's a harder sell because of Python, which corporate types seem to think is bad hacker central.

Another free CLI tool to consider is WeasyPrint. (Github)

While also supporting all the latest features of HTML5 && CSS3?

We're doing export from server side with https://wkhtmltopdf.org/ and https://github.com/jhonnymertz/java-wkhtmltopdf-wrapper, but it's for an old project. Now i would also evaluate the Puppeteer solution as proposed by someone else.

You might get some mileage out of wkhtmltopdf binaries.

There are some other options. You can install wkhtml2pdf and use wkhtml2pdf. In this case, you would write a header HTML file with some CSS on how you want to render the table.

Before decided to use Chrome DevTools Protocol Page.printToPDF, I also tried wkhtmltopdf which is based on QT4 Webkit. Hovewer, wkhtmltopdf doesn't seem to support CSS Printing @media Rule, which will make some extra components visible and printed in the PDF.

Wkhtmltopdf (https://wkhtmltopdf.org/) is my go to, since it also works on Azure App Service.

I've used numerous technologies for doing that conversion, including WebSuperGoo's ABCpdf.net, and Rotativa's free library. (We even have an article on how to use it.) The latter is still in use on some of my projects, but it—and its newer .Net Core version—is based on wkhtmltopdf.exe, which is a problem. More about that later.
