One of my application running at work has a task of creating a user ordersheet made through the main app workflow and transposing it to an HTML document which is then converted to a PDF document by wkhtmltopdf and dispatched via email, etc.

I found this setup to be really stable and easy to maintain, so far it has produced around 70k orders per year and has been running for over 4 years now without any hiccups.

Before that I was using phantomjs but it wasn’t as fast and reliable for some reasons that I can’t quite remember now, since I havent touch that part of the app in a long time.

All I remember is that wkhtmltopdf was easier to tweak and compose with.
