That's a great component that works very well for converting HTML to PDF. Sadly it doesn't work for our project, because our documents are created using 4DWritePro. Converting them to HTML loses some vital formatting - most importantly, things like text columns on a page. I suppose this could be fixed by putting the text into tables, but there are various problems with that - the page formatting goes a bit haywire, and in WP you cannot have tables within tables, so it would not be possible to produce a document that has both text columns and tables within those pages 😡
