go-wkhtmltopdf VS DinkToPdf

I haven't needed to create PDFs in Go but a quick search brought this library up: https://github.com/adrg/go-wkhtmltopdf

I used this package for a while to generate the PDF from HTML - https://github.com/rdvojmoc/DinkToPdf

This may not be applicable in your situation, but I'll leave this info here anyways. I used DinkToPdf https://github.com/rdvojmoc/DinkToPdf for a Blazor Server and a Blazor WASM OMS application. I created a 'Reports' controller, created two different controller action methods. One to create the HTML for the PDF and the other to actually generate the PDF.

The install instructions for DinkToPdf (see github) have a step about installing native binaries that your tutorial seems to be missing.
