Have you looked at Prince [1]? It's commercial, but highly regarded.
The coolest project I've seen with it is OMA (Rem Koolhaas' architecture firm), which uses it to print internal, very professional-looking booklets automatically generated from data, text and photos stored in Sanity [2]. (The Sanity team also built the system to make the booklets.)

- omnimus 8y agoI know about it but it is pretty expensive so i never gave it any thought. I am not sure if i can test it anyhow. It is probably nobrainer if you are generating pdfs all the time but i would have to use it on multiple projects to make it financially possible. Funnily enough right now i am working on archive for architecture company. But thats like 100 pdfs.
- lobster_johnson 8y agoIt's not cheap, but if you run it on a single server, you can use it for as many projects as you like. Apparently someone made a hosted SaaS version, though, which might be affordable if you don't produce a lot of pages: https://docraptor.com/signup https://docraptor.com/signup.
- omnimus 8y agoAre you sure that it is Prince powering this?
- lobster_johnson 8y agoYes. It's in the documentation.
