Wkhtmltopdf[1] uses the QT WebKit renderer. I used it as part of my job hut work-flow with pandoc to get pdf resumes from markdown. It got me a job, so there's that. [1] https://wkhtmltopdf.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

In 2014 we used wkhtmltopdf[0] to generate PDF copies of Cloudfoundry docs for every version every release, and maybe that's what I'd reach for now. Not sure if Qt WebKit has similar limits as Chromium. Not that you asked, but I am sitting here silently judging whoever let those pages get that large. Enough html to cap out RAM?

In most cases no, AsciiDoctor-PDF converter uses the Ruby library PDF library Prawn to generate PDFs, However, there are alternative PDF converters which do convert from HTML (the VSC AsciiDoctor plug-in allows the option to use a different converter), but I don't think they use chrome. Please note that using different pdf converters is a bit of an advanced topic. https://wkhtmltopdf.org/, and asciidoctor-web-pdf. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Some time later, I dabbled a little with Cypress and Playwright, always using javascript. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

I'm looking for tools, strategies, libraries, etc. That would be useful for automating arbitrary desktop applications. Ideally something free and open source. Robot Framework (https://robotframework.org/) looks promising, although the docs seem deliberately unclear about how useable the open source libraries are without the cloud SaaS being sold on top. Does anyone have experience in this area? What's your secret... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
