kudu VS WeasyPrint

But behind the scenes, all these options are using the same back engine, which is Kudu.

A .NET client wrapper for using the Kudu API with strong-typed requests and responses.

In the search for the 0 Byte files I came across Azure temp and Azure cache folders on the Azure Web App. The application uses these folders to store temporary data from Azure Blob Storage. Through Kudu Console, a service available for Azure Web Apps, it is possible to navigate through these folders using the command prompt. By executing the following command line script all 0 Byte files will be searched and written to a txt file:

Depending on your configuration, you may need to use customized deployments settings

Is there a reason you didn't consider something like Weasyprint?

I've gone through a number of systems to convert CV's, business cards, and other docs and it hasn't let me down yet.

You don't _have_ to use a browser. I had very good results with Weasyprint [0]. And there's also PrinceXML [1] if you're willing to pay.

Thanks for your answer! I imagined you would be using PrinceXML behind the scenes since that is probably the gold standard in HTML+CSS rendering.

The only open source alternative I know of is WeasyPrint at https://weasyprint.org/. I'm not sure how well it fares against PrinceXML, though.

And thanks for the pointer to Taffy - I didn't know it before!

Flexbox support has been [included][1] since 2018, although my use case was the prototypical one - a single row w/ 3 columns - so YMMV with how it handles more complex layouts.

Performance is not the strength of WeasyPrint, meaning that heavy HTML files will increase generation time. You should always compress images before attaching them, as they are not compressed by default. Generating a 50-page-long PDF may take up to a minute in extreme cases, although multi-page documents generated on my project take fewer than 2 seconds to generate.

For Python there is Weasyprint: you prepare the invoice as an HTML document, and Weasyprint turns it into a PDF

Well yes, but you can implement HTML+CSS. WeasyPrint did from scratch, and independent implementations of HTML+CSS are considerably more numerous than HTML+CSS+JS.

In a recent project I used https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint/ it is written in python, so you will need to use it like so:
