Prince is the only browser engine that fully supports the print css standards that I know of. There seems to be little incentive by the browser makers improve printable output so Prince has quite a niche.

Prince is amazing, I’m thinking of buying a license at work soon. All the other solutions have some big flaws and are hard to use

Did you try paged.js?

I’m trying it now - didn’t know about it until someone else mentioned it in this thread

We use pajed.js in conjunction with Arachnys/AthenaPdf [1] for HTML to PDF conversion, its a pretty nice experience.

Nice! Will check it out - I was trying to build a electron word processor app that would use html and then convert to pdf, maybe I will start it again with this.

Can this handle svg or JavaScript libraries like Charts.js? I’ll check the details but if you know off the top of your head :)

Thanks again for the link
