headless-chromium-php VS PDFKit

I currently use https://github.com/chrome-php/chrome

Headless Chrome with https://github.com/chrome-php/chrome works best for me. All native packages have it's quirks sadly.

We also use headless Chrome to generate the PDFs, using https://github.com/chrome-php/chrome and https://github.com/dreadnip/chrome-pdf-bundle

Maybe download the file using a headless browser, and work from there? https://github.com/chrome-php/chrome

Yes this is the kind of thing you can do with headless browsers. Look at something like this - https://github.com/chrome-php/headless-chromium-php

did you consider using https://github.com/chrome-php/headless-chromium-php instead?

Build a PDF generator using Kintone's REST API and a PDF library like PDFKit or PDFMake

https://pdfkit.org/ is pretty powerful, surprised to see no one has mentioned this so far.

If this is a concern for you, I suggest you look at projects like pdfkit, they allow you to compose the content of the pdf directly, without using another format (html) has an intermediate layer.

I use pdfkit at work

Then write a script to export the drag drop. Maybe use a browser function to save the page as a PDF. Or a NPM library using something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/pdfkit

Maybe pdfkit
