What do .NET devs use for web scraping these days?

(Free) Open-source PDF Generation/Export
Otherwise, any pdf to hml chromium based solution hosted via docker, like gotenberg](https://github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg) or browserless.io(which is free if you create open source). Generating pdfs from html directly in .NET was always a pain. Wkhtml (and wrappers that use it) uses WebKit and comes with a load of issues of its own, similar to running and styling anything in Safari. Using chromium based engine saves a lot of time as it's the most popular way of doing it these days. You can also use puppeteer-sharp with local chromium if you host your app on something that allows it(f.e. not Azure Functions).

HTMLtoPDF
For the actual conversion of html to pdf we use PuppeteerSharp (https://www.puppeteersharp.com ) but you need browserless for that, which requires an api key (don’t know the pricing)

Last C# PDF doc/tutorial by Microsoft. Tomorrow, the PDF generation feature will be officially retired. So, I took this opportunity to archive this format. (Up to .NET 6)
Just generate HTML and use https://github.com/hardkoded/puppeteer-sharp to produce a PDF from headless Chrome.

Best PDF generation library to create nested tables
Another idea is to maybe generate the document as HTML first and then convert the HTML to a PDF (with somehting like PuppeteerSharp. I have found this more flexible in the past, but I have not personally done with with nested tables.

Docker Container as Virtual Remote Desktop

- Can I run full Ubuntu UI in Docker on M1 Mac?
-
Virtual monitor for laptop on desktop or monitor sharing
I've found this to be a very good solution. It is a headless VNC connection that boots with docker. It was inspired from this project where someone created the same thing. However, in the first link, they went back and made the box more stable and overall it performs better in my experience.
