Agreed (and same). I get that it's hard to convert web elements (via Chrome) to a readable/nice PDF, but wkhtmltopdf really isn't the miracle tool it is made out to be. Like you, I have to tweak the options majorly, and even then it fails to support proper page breaks between text lines (i.e. a line of text that is cut across a page break looks so unprofessional). We are in need of a true web to PDF conversion tool; it's one of those things that is overlooked in the business sector but represents quite a valuable niche.

Please stress-test and feel free to submit problem cases as issues to the github repo [0]. "Aggressive mode", which leverages Chromium's "simplify page" mode, might do some of what you want, but typically you need some of the funky print css classes to enforce widows/orphans. The main reason we have built this however is that wkhtmltopdf just crashes all the time. Other commenters seem to agree. We'd love feedback on whether Athena works in cases that other tools fail, as well as on quality of conversion. [0]: https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf
