Any good tutorials for working with pdfs in Rust?
The only “sane” way I’ve found to be able to deal with pdfs is through this tool https://wkhtmltopdf.org/
-
Batch saving webpages to PDFs? (Sub wiki page deleted)
wget + https://wkhtmltopdf.org/
-
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.

Open Source Tool to create a PDF structure via coding?
wkhtmltopdf — Generates PDFs from HTML documents.

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.

Is there any program that helps you build your own bestiary for homebrew settings?
Since the srd uses standardized links (base/creature type/creature name) you could make a list of urls based on your selected monsters in a spreadsheet, then use a program like https://wkhtmltopdf.org/, https://www.weenysoft.com/free-html-to-pdf-converter.html, or the url conversion feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro if you combine all the urls into an htm for Acrobat to pull from.

Question about Yard
An example for a very simple setup is the cmdparse gem documentation. It only has a few additional documentation files that accompany the main API documentation. The other end of the spectrum is the documentation for HexaPDF which encompasses many additional documentation files besides the API documentation and deeply integrates the API docs into the whole documentation website.

Understanding Text in PDF
TrueType subsetting mainly consists of generating the necessary glyph and various index tables, and copying over all the other necessary tables which don't need to be adjusted. See https://github.com/gettalong/hexapdf/blob/master/lib/hexapdf/font/true_type/subsetter.rb for what is needed to subset.
