Looks like they just choose a wrong library. Wkhtmltopdf is intended (as name implied) to convert HTML to PDFs, like 'we rendered this nice page in browser using D3 and fancy set of CSSs, now we need to export it to PDF'.
And their grievance is about abilities to generate PDFs from a template with a predefined presets. Clearly, other libraries will suit that task better.
- icebraining 8y agoI disagree; wkhtmltopdf has many options for exactly their use case (like the headers and footers), not just for regular webpages.
- inferiorhuman 8y agoIf headers and footers are a significant issue something like XSL-FO (with Apache fop) may be a better idea. But then you're trading one monster for another.
