  • CSS for Printing to Paper
    15 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Mar 2024
    I have been creating print labels with plot/cut lines using css and I used browsers to covert it to PDF. The experience was terrible. While all was perfect on my 1-page proof print, both large browsers messed up the final document (with a few hundred labels on several pages).

    Firefox forgot to render images after a few pages. So on some labels the barcodes were not printed.

    Chrome looked good at the fist glance. But it turned out that the plot/cut lines (which I created via CSS borders) had been shifted by 1-2mm on _some_ pages. Result was garbage.

    I finally switched to https://github.com/flyingsaucerproject/flyingsaucer which is a high quality HTML/CSS to PDF library. Only drawback is that it only supports CSS 2.1, so some fancy features are not supported like rotating text.

  • Htmldocs: Typeset and Generate PDFs with HTML/CSS

    I've used flying saucer pdf[1] for this in the past, but the missing piece always seems to be a descent WYSIWYG template editor. Either open source or paid.

    Any suggestions on a web solution that allows non-devs to make great templates would be appreciated.

    Historically I've built something simple with Tiny and added a preview button to render, but that super clunky.

    Not Kotlin first, but I use Flying Saucer (LGPL licenced) in Java.
