We're mostly web developers so we designed our complex shipping invoices in HTML and ran them through DocRaptor's API https://docraptor.com https://docraptor.com for many years with beautiful results at a reasonable cost. Eventually other teams in our organization started doing the same so we paid a few thousand bucks for the package DocRaptor uses in the backend https://www.princexml.com https://www.princexml.com and run it locally.
