• PDF rendering server-side using HTML 5 + CSS 3

  Are you looking for a way to render PDF's or produce them? If you want to produce PDF's, I've used https://pdfbox.apache.org/ successfully as well as https://itextpdf.com/ (potentially costs money). Source: 6 months ago

• I interviewed Bruno Lowagie, who successfully commercialized his FOSS library, iText, between 2008 and 2018, for Code Code Ship: “Commercializing iText had a significant impact on the quality of the library”

  So, the case study would be an optional request/collaboration, but slapping your logo on their site (as seen on their home page just below the fold) is not written as optional. Say what you will about AGPL, but if you're a paying customer, this should be an easy provision to strike from the agreement if requested. They declined and our internal legal team refused to accept the agreement as a result and so we found... Source: about 1 year ago

• How do i convert html file to pdf file using java(fx)?

  Not really a JavaFX question as JavaFX is a UI framework. Your question is therefore just related to Java. To answer that I've seen a similar feature from IText (https://itextpdf.com) or OpenPDF (https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF) as an open source alternative. Maybe take a look at those for a start and check if they provide you what you're looking for. Source: over 1 year ago

• What enterprise wide solutions have you adopted as alternatives to digitally generating documents that are not PDF?

  As for generating PDF's themselves. You could start rolling your own service... Or maybe you could use something like this: https://gotenberg.dev/ Or maybe you use it as an inspiration and use the (F)OSS tools inside that box (look at the documentation) to roll your own service instead. Or - depending on the budget - you could go for a proprietary solution and go with e.g. Itext (https://itextpdf.com/en). Source: about 2 years ago

• 3x new books added to the Pirate Library Mirror (+24TB, 3.8M books)

  Based on what's on ZLibrary, various formats, though principally PDF, ePub, Mobi (Kindle), DJVU (similar to PDF), FB2, and a few others. Most ebook readers (with the exception of Amazon's own Kindle reader) can read virtually all of these, some with extensions. E.g., FB Reader , PocketBook Reader , Onyx's Neoreader (BOOX) ... No... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• FOSS or privacy conscious ebook reading app (Mac/iOS)

  I came across FBReader which looks great in principal, but it uses a Google Drive account to sync with no other options. Also it's no longer OSS from 2015 (which wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me). Source: almost 2 years ago

• I need a good Software to read epub

  I use FBreader on android and PC. It's insanely customizable. I sometimes use it it double-page layout, 'though I haven't tried comics. Source: about 2 years ago
