Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs
11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Mar 2024

I'm with you..
We ended up writing a similar wrapper around https://github.com/jung-kurt/gofpdf library. We haven't open sourced it yet. But it's made it a lot easier to deal with rendering a PDF, especially over pagebreaks ect.
