HTML2PDF Conversion [closed]

Answer 1

I would like to add a new entry that I've used recently - wkhtmltopdf - it is an open source project that uses webkit to render, which means that it has all the latest and greatest available including CSS3, SVG, and can even let javascript run before creating the pdf. It doesn't have the same level of polish as princeXML, but its the best FOSS solution I've found.

I haven't used it for multi-page documents yet, but I believe it does have support for css page-breaks.

Answer 2

We've used Apache FOP in the past to convert XML docs to PDF. perhaps not quite what you are looking for but It might be an option?

Answer 3

PDFLib could be bundled with a native application written by yourselves to create PDFs. It's a great library - used to be free but it looks you have to pay for it these days.

Another option, but it doesn't exactly fit your non-dependency requirement, is iTextSharp.

Answer 4

I had lots of luck with HTMLDOC. It is open source and available on many platforms and has a commercial version if you want to pay for it.

Answer 5

I've used Prince XML with Java and it is extremely powerful and easy to use, but it's also commercial.

Answer 6

I've used ExpertPDF's Html2Pdf converter component. Easy to make .NET app to convert.
