gotenberg VS pdfarranger

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.

Think you mean https://gotenberg.dev ?

We use https://gotenberg.dev/ with handlebars templates.

On Linux I like to use:

https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger and https://gitlab.com/scarpetta/pdfmixtool for such tasks.

Für PDFs verwende ich pdfarranger.

I see some questions in the comments about document splitting and if you are using PDF for the export in scanning, this adds an extra step but may be valuable in the long run. For Linux users at least, there is "pdfarranger" which most distros have. You can install that, load the PDF and re-arrange pages, remove pages, etc.

PDFArranger

So, I guess, pdfarranger might be faster than PDFSam. https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger

I like PDF Arranger for converting JPEGs to PDFs (open source on Windows) https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger.

I have always only been using PDF Arranger for manipulating PDF files (merging different files, arranging, adding, deleting pages) and I'm wondering if there really is no KDE equivalent for that application.
