Hello, current maintainer of wkhtmltopdf here. This looks like an interesting approach, as Qt/WebKit is effectively unsupported. wkhtmltopdf is further hampered by the fact that a lot of the functionality requires a patched Qt version, which hasn't been ported to Qt 5.x.
Switching to Blink is obvious, but which wrapper to use (CEF, Electron, etc) is hard to decide. Because they all use a multi process architecture, supporting the API around which the tools are built is not really possible. Time to work on it has also been in short supply in recent times.
So, good work by the authors. Wish we could get something better, but as long as browsers move at the pace they do, it's going to be tough.
- dbuxton 10y agoThanks for all your good (and hard!) work on wkhtmltopdf - it sets a high bar for usefulness. We'd love your input on areas that you think could be improved in Athena.
