Get attributes from another session without loading that session
Thanks for the suggestion! KnpSnappyBundle was my initial way to go as well, but my pages use quite some Javascript (chartJs) to render and I couldn’t get wkhtmltopdf to work with it. As it seems wkhtmltopdf does not support ES6 https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/3596 so I was forced to find another way.

Fixed width tables in PDFs
Of the HTML-based pdf-engines pandoc supports, prince would have the best typography, but I don't like recommending Prince because it's proprietary and costs money. (I try to stick to open source when I can.) wkhtmltopdf is the fastest, but uses a pretty old codebase, and doesn't even support paged/print css. weasyprint is a little better in my experience, but still has a ways to go typographically. pagedjs-cli is just a wrapper around headless Chrome/Chromium, and while Chrome has made improvements with regard to typography, Google turns off some of those features (e.g., hyphens) in headless mode, which is annoying.

Use Exiv2 to extract GPS data from Images using CFML
Disclaimer: I stopped using many BIFs years ago in favor of dropping down to the command line and either using CFExecute or CFX_Exec[http://adiabata.com/cfx_exec.cfm] to run apps like WKHTMLTOPDF (for PDF generation) and GraphicsMagick (for image manipulation). The result has been faster performance, higher quality results (data or display-wise) and the ability to perform tasks offline and/or concurrently.
