CSS for Printing to Paper
I have been creating print labels with plot/cut lines using css and I used browsers to covert it to PDF. The experience was terrible. While all was perfect on my 1-page proof print, both large browsers messed up the final document (with a few hundred labels on several pages).
Firefox forgot to render images after a few pages. So on some labels the barcodes were not printed.
Chrome looked good at the fist glance. But it turned out that the plot/cut lines (which I created via CSS borders) had been shifted by 1-2mm on _some_ pages. Result was garbage.
I finally switched to https://github.com/flyingsaucerproject/flyingsaucer which is a high quality HTML/CSS to PDF library. Only drawback is that it only supports CSS 2.1, so some fancy features are not supported like rotating text.

Htmldocs: Typeset and Generate PDFs with HTML/CSS
I've used flying saucer pdf[1] for this in the past, but the missing piece always seems to be a descent WYSIWYG template editor. Either open source or paid.
Any suggestions on a web solution that allows non-devs to make great templates would be appreciated.
Historically I've built something simple with Tiny and added a preview button to render, but that super clunky.

How do i convert html file to pdf file using java(fx)?
Not really a JavaFX question as JavaFX is a UI framework. Your question is therefore just related to Java. To answer that I've seen a similar feature from IText (https://itextpdf.com) or OpenPDF (https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF) as an open source alternative. Maybe take a look at those for a start and check if they provide you what you're looking for.
