PDF Generation

Hi Guys:

I would like to ask, for production systems you are developing in Pharo/Squeak, what PDF generator are currently using?

Thanks.

Olivier Auverlot

Re: PDF Generation

Hi,

For Pharo, you could use Artefact.

Best regards

Olivier ;-)

Re: PDF Generation

Thanks Olivier.

I ported an older version of Artefact to Cuis, to experiment with several stuff that I needed to generate from a desktop app.

But I was not aware of the new versions, I will check it, thanks!

I'm using wkhtmltopdf.org because all of my needs are from Seaside html pages.

I tried phantom.js but like the results from wkhtmltopdf better

Not an economic option, but at least to have something similar to
wkhtmltopdf to measure it against: http://www.princexml.com/

I considered it a lot of time ago, to discover that [1] one of the
creators of PrinceXML was one of the main developers of Opera (now its
CTO) and CSS3.

Best regards!

Re: PDF Generation

Can you point some example?

Thanks!

+1 for princexml.

Renders nicely using site CSS file, a big + for us.

Costs some money, but is way less than building separate pages for PDF
documents. i.e. we use the same page we generate for the site and the
site's CSS file. The fee we pay is way less than the work to do this.
Is there something else out there that does this?

Re: PDF Generation

The above mentioned wkhtmltopdf and phantom.js work in the same way as princexml with html + css.

They do however lack all the extra CSS selectors that you get with princexml for making bookmarks etc inside the pdf.
