• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• Signing PDFs

  KDE's okular might be a good choice. I haven't personally used it for epub but I know it supports it. https://okular.kde.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Are there any good PDF viewers for large (10Mb+) datasheets that can save search results in the actual PDF, and take notes on the PDF?

  I use okular, don't think it has web export though. Source: about 1 year ago
