Alternative for PrinceXML #132

Closed Purus closed 1 year ago

Purus commented 10 years ago

Is there any plan to use some open-source or low cost software for PDF conversion? PrinceXML is very much costly.. If I have to use it in my server, I have to pay my 6 months salary to get 1 server license.

The below one is open-source and widely used too.

There is already issue for this: #25, really old, but exists =)

Purus commented 10 years ago

Yeah, I just noticed and commented on that. I am creating an UI for easybook and thought this would help.

esquivalient commented 10 years ago

I haven't actually used easybook (I found this while googling for something else), but have you thought about using http://DocRaptor.com? It's a SaaS html to pdf converter that uses Prince as the conversion engine. The low plan is $15/month, which might fit the low cost you were looking for.

Disclaimer: I'm on the DocRaptor team.
