PDF rendering server-side using HTML 5 + CSS 3
Are you looking for a way to render PDF's or produce them? If you want to produce PDF's, I've used https://pdfbox.apache.org/ successfully as well as https://itextpdf.com/ (potentially costs money).

So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand
If you don't mind using java, you can use the open source Apache PDFBox library
https://pdfbox.apache.org/
It's relatively performant and it's a mature and supported codebase that can accomplish most pdf tasks.

How to take input from User and make a PDF of it and directly send it to WhatsApp?
There are some libraries for Java that can help you create a PDF file such as PDFBox or IText. Here there's a short exaplanation on how to use them.

How I archived 100 million PDF documents... (Part 1)
So, when I started to view the documents, a lot of them simply failed to open. I had to look around for a library that could verify PDF documents. I had some experience with PDFBox in the past, so it seemed to be a good go-to solution. It had no way to verify documents by default, but it could open and parse them and that was enough to filter out the incorrect ones. It felt a little bit strange just to read the whole PDF into the memory to verify if it is correct or not, but hey I needed a simple fix for now and it worked really well.
- Best FOSS (ideally Docker) that can split PDF files ?

PDF processing and analysis with open-source tools
PDFBox can do this. It’s not part of the CLI but it wouldn’t be too hard to add:

Beautifying Org Mode in Emacs (2018)
My main authoring tool is then Emacs Markdown Mode (https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/). For data entry, it comes with some bells and whistles similar to org-mode, like C-c C-l for inserting links etc.
I seldom export my notes for external usage, but if it is the case, I use lowdown (https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/) which also comes with some nice output targets (among the more unusual are Groff and Terminal). Of cource pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does a very good job here, too.

Show HN: I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
This is one of those things that the ever-amazing pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does very well, on top of supporting virtually every other document format.

LaTeX makes me so angry at word
Folks feel the same way about Markdown versus LaTeX: why use something significantly more complicated where a looser, human-readable grammar works better?
For any other situations, I use https://pandoc.org/, or, generate a Word doc scriptomatically.

Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs
Congrats on the launch, I guess, but there are so many free options that I can't think of a situation where paying $0.25 per document would be justified...? Just to name a few:
Back in the days, I used to use XSL-FO [0] and it was okay. It was not very precise but it rarely if ever broke, and was perfectly integrated with an XML/XSLT solution. Yeah, this was a long time ago.
Last month I used html-to-pdfmake [1] and it's also not very precise and more fragile, but very efficient and fast.
Yet another approach would be to pro grammatically generate .rtf files (for example) and use Pandoc [2] to produce PDFs (I have not tried this in production but don't see why it wouldn't work).

Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform
Others have mentioned static site generators. I like Hakyll [1] because it can tightly integrate with Pandoc [2] and allows you to develop custom solutions if your needs ever grow.

Show HN: CLI for generating beautiful PDF for offline reading
Have you compared it with a conversion by pandoc (https://pandoc.org/)?

Pandoc
I have used it to kickstart a blogging project that I wish to come back to soon. The Lua inter-op for custom readers, writers and filters is great but I wish there was more editor integration and even perhaps an official IDE/editor with built-in debugging features (probably something already do-able with Emacs but I haven't checked). The only blocker for my project is no support for "ChunkedDoc" for Lua filters [1] which forces me to write more code and a complicated Makefile.
