* Package name : wkgtk-html2pdf Version : 1.0.10 Upstream Contact: James Hothersall <[email protected]> * URL : https://wkgtk-html2pdf.com * License : MIT Programming Lang: C++, JavaScript Description : professional headless HTML-to-PDF engine with layout verification wkgtk-html2pdf is a high-fidelity HTML-to-PDF conversion engine built on WebKitGTK and PoDoFo. Designed as a modern, ABI-stable replacement for wkhtmltopdf, it introduces rigorous document validation features. Key features: - Integer-Locked Coordinate System: Eliminates cumulative rounding drift (creep) for 1:1 parity between WebKit and the PDF grid. - Forensic Linters: Proactively detects text overflow and missing fonts via canvas-based pixel matching. - Headless Infrastructure: Built-in Display Sentinel manages Xvfb lifecycles via D-Bus for high-availability server deployments. - Semantic Indexing: Generates coordinate-perfect PDF bookmarks and internal links directly from the DOM. - Pretty HTML Builder: Includes a C++ DSL for programmatic, tag-safe document generation. Why is this useful: This package provides a modern, secure, and maintained alternative to the now-removed wkhtmltopdf. It is intended for business form generation and high-precision typesetting and professional technical manual and general document generation. Maintenance plan: I plan to maintain this package individually and am looking for a sponsor for this initial upload. The package is already DFSG-compliant and Lintian-clean.
