   Cool app

   I've been using it for a while. It's great to create contracts.

   Great app - resolves the limitations of other doc/merge apps

   We wanted an app that would allow for custom branding and layout, the font of our choice, and merge fields across our main SF objects. Previously we used DocGen, which led to a morass of configuration to put fields in exactly the place they needed to be for the tables, as well as a bunch of SOQL queries to manage conditional logic. The VF doc generator can't accommodate the fonts we use in our branding. And so DocRaptor has been the perfect solution.

   Our developer built the contracts, and we went live within weeks with complete branding, flexibility in the data merges (we were able to remove a ton of bad config) and it's easy to manage.

   Pros:    Flexible|Great customer support|Super fast

   The best HTML to PDF solution

   I have been using DocRaptor for 6 years, both for my professionnal and personnal projects. After trying several free and/or open source HTML to PDF solutions, I was happy to find this service. It's the most efficient solution, which generates the most accurate PDF documents.

   Since it's a SaaS service, there is nothing to install, no library dependencies nor experimental software that you're not sure it will be supported in the future.

   There is a lot of options and CSS rules to dig in if you want to get PDF files that exactly matches what you want. But the other solutions I tried didn't have these options, and the result was not good enough.

   Competitors: pdfmatrix.com, SelectPdf, pdflayer, Api2Pdf, PDFCrowd

   Pros:    Simple api|No dependencies|Best pdf result|A lot of options to help you create the pdf you need|Good customer support

   Cons:    A lot of css rules to learn if you want to get the perfect pdf of your dreams... but at least these rules exist!

• Is there and easy way of porting a site from d7 to d9?

  I would be interested in some good migration tools, paid ones are also ok. I found a post about this on drupal.org, but it didn't seem like an easy process. It is a multilanguage site with many content types, and a totally custom theme. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Is there any nice group, where I can ask questions, when I get stuck and recieve some guidance instead of crytics?

  You got already good advice, but wanted to point the guide of drupal.org where you can see some tools listed with instructions and channels https://www.drupal.org/community/contributor-guide/reference-information/talk/tools. Source: almost 4 years ago

• MAMP issue after Pro trial ended

  There is a service call GitPod that provides a temporary container Drupal environment. If you are familiar with what is going on around the future of how Drupal modules will eventually be offered up, you will likely have seen the "Project Browser" module as a contrib demo of the approach. It is used for people to give feedback to the developers. So they set up the typical 'SimplyTestMe' but also a GitPod... Source: almost 4 years ago

• Best Modules for Product and Recipe?

  For reviews, it depends entirely on what you mean by "review". I believe core has a simple comment module, although it may have been deprecated for D9? There are likely many review-style modules on drupal.org that might work, or if you just want to link out to third-party reviews then it could just be a repeating-value link field on the Product content type.

• Leadership?

  They should also use standards tools like Github. The drupal.org platform was certainly impressive 10 years ago, today it's a pain to use it. They ducktape it with gitlab, but really it sucks to have to read documentation to simply do a pull request. Source: about 4 years ago

• wkhtmltopdf is archived with an open CVE — a field guide to moving off it

  The commercial sibling of this category is PrinceXML (and DocRaptor, The hosted API built on it) — the strongest print-CSS engine on the market and the reference Choice when compliance-grade, print-perfect documents justify the price. - Source: dev.to / 14 days ago

• Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs

  It sounds like this is as advanced as DocRaptor[1]. They have what I consider to be the best PDF generation API, giving complete control over the documents you need to create. The pricing is similar. If you'd rather do it for free weasyprint[2] is the best open source alternative. Another more affordable option you might want to consider is Urlbox[3]. (Disclosure: I work on this) Urlbox's rendering engine is based... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• How do you generate PDF reports from HTML?

  We built the DocRaptor API to let developers have affordable access to the commercial Prince PDF engine. We have Node code examples throughout the documentation. Source: almost 4 years ago

• What is the best online HTML to PDF converter?

  I'd argue our service, DocRaptor, is the best because it's the only one powered by the Prince PDF engine. Unlike open-source, browser-based conversion engines, Prince was custom-built just for converting HTML into PDFs and offers a lot of unique functionality for making more complex PDFs.

• Is it possible to render a RazorPage (inc. CSS) to a PDF file and download via WebAPI?

  I work for https://docraptor.com, which is an HTML to PDF API. We have a C# agent. Source: about 5 years ago
