Generating PDFs from HTML and PhantomJS

Original – Oct 26th 2015 by Freek Van der Herten – 1 minute read

There are many ways to generate PDFs dynamically, from using some king of object builder, to using XML and an XSLT template. But by far the easiest is using plain old HTML, CSS and PhantomJS.

In today’s tutorial I’m going to walk you through how I generate PDFs in web applications.
