Wow, this is incredibly expensive. I don't mean to say it is not worth it.
I have a problem at work that requires highly dynamic content to be generated and output to pdf files. Right now, I am using excel template documents. I would love to use open technologies to do the same. Not able to find anything so far that is as flexible and user friendly. The closest alternative is to use OpenOffice Calc documents.
- abhinav22 6y agoTry the HTML / CSS / Paged.js workflow with headless chrome - I think it works really well (and open source / free with the exception of Chrome, where you are a bit at the mercy of Google, but they are unlikely to make any breaking changes in my opinion)
