Agreed. All the other ones mentioned probably do well in some scenarios but prince does a few nice things that I hvent been able to emulate with the other ones

When I used it I don't recall noticing any speed issues, but I did front it
with TagSoup to guarantee clean HTML.

The thing about flying saucer.
its Java, you need jruby
It fails if html is not correct and its REALLY slow

May I also suggest a free alternative called
Flying Saucer

https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/

Its a java library with IText support(JRuby if you want more
possibilities) and there are plugins out there for doing the
conversions for you.


Search github for Acts_as_flying_saucer


In essence, Its Prince PDf without the 4k price tag

cheers..

Prince is quite definitely the way to go. Extremely robust and
supports really handy CSS3 features which let you do things like add
headers and rooters to every page and customise how page nbers are
shown.

Anyone got any recommendations for HTML/CSS to PDF conversion?

We started looking at Prawn, but we've got a whole lot of well- layed out views in HTML/CSS, and it would be heaps easier to just convert
them.

Looked at WickedPDF / wkhtmltopdf, which works awesome locally...
unfortunately, there isnt a binary for Solaris on our servers, and
the install process is looking like it's going to be a spiral- f**k,
so I'm looking for alternatives.
