  • chrome-headless-render-pdf

  • You could generate html using your own tools like Django or PHP and then use something like chrome-headless-render-pdf to convert your page to pdf. I haven't tried it but I think it would work okay. You probably have to serve the pdfs on a webserver or something because it looks like they are just saved to disk after conversion.

  • Dompdf

    HTML to PDF converter for PHP

  • This is what I did. I just coded a little PHP script that lets me select templates and add pages, and type in markdown, and that gets wrapped in a pre-defined template and piped to a preview page. I have a print button to print to PDF, and an edit button to make changes. I could send it through something like dompdf if I didn't want to deal with browser quirks.
