使用wkhtmltopdf将HTML转换为PDF

Question

I am trying to creat my reporting system using html and transforming it into pdf. I am using wkhtmltopdf, and what i have done is creating the report in a url and calling in using wkhtmltopdf, but when url takes to long to load the conversion fails.

Does anyone have experience with converting html to pdf? or is the technology not ready yet?

Answer 1

After many problems with other libraries I used mPDF and it worked very good. Download the latest version, read documentation here ( http://www.mpdf1.com/ ).

Answer 2

Although you have moved to different library, I am still answering here so that it can be helpful to other users facing the same issue.

The trick is to use

javascript-delay

option of wkhtmltopdf where value is given in ms.

eg:

wkhtmltopdf --javascript-delay 1000 http://your.url.com pdf_name.pdf
