mdbook-pdf: A mdBook backend for generating PDF files
mdbook-pdf depends on Google Chrome / Microsoft Edge / Chromium. The generated page are pretty much alike the one you manually print to PDF in your browser by opening print.html or executing google-chrome-stable --headless --print-to-pdf=output.pdf file:///path/to/print.html, but with customization of PDF paper orientation, scale of the webpage rendering, paper width and height, page margins, generated PDF page ranges, whether to display header and footer as well as customize their formats, and more, as well as automation. It supports all the platform where Google Chrome / Microsoft Edge / Chromium would work. You can check samples of the generated PDF files in the Artifacts here (The Rust book collections generated in x86_64 Windows, macOS as well as Linux).

mdbook-pdf: A mdBook backend for generating PDF files
mdBook allows you to create book from markdown files. It's pretty much alike Gitbook but implemented in Rust. However, unlike Gitbook that supports using calibre for generating PDF, for a long time, mdBook doesn't support generating PDF files natively, and supporting that is also not in their roadmap. Existing plugins (backends) such as mdbook-latex that utilize Tectonic as well as pandoc solutions will generate a PDF page that doesn't unify with the existing mdBook generated HTML version. Considering these facts, I created a mdBook backend named mdbook-pdf for generating PDF based on headless chrome and Chrome DevTools Protocol Page.printToPDF.
What are some alternatives?
tectonic - A modernized, complete, self-contained TeX/LaTeX engine, powered by XeTeX and TeXLive.
gitbook - The open source frontend for GitBook doc sites
mdBook - Create book from markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust
mdbook-pdf-headless_chrome - A forked version from headless_chrome used by mdbook-pdf for the latest version and expanding some response timeout to 300 seconds.
rust-headless-chrome - A high-level API to control headless Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. It is the Rust equivalent of Puppeteer, a Node library maintained by the Chrome DevTools team.
mdbook-man - Generate manual pages from mdBooks!
mdbook-plantuml - mdBook preprocessor to render PlantUML diagrams to png images in the book output directory
