Been using Printmaker on a project recently, and it's wonderful! The developer, Michael Rog, has also been extremely helpful and quick to respond.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was aiming more at the PDF creating side of things rather than the Craft Plugin side as the project would require something bespoke anyway. In hindsight, I guess the question is probably a bit too vague for the Craft Stack Exchange.

<p>Just in case anyone was wondering, it looks like I'll be going with <a href="https://mpdf.github.io" rel="nofollow noreferrer">mPDF</a>, it seems to have better HTML/CSS support than either <a href="http://www.tcpdf.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TCPDF</a> or <a href="https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">domPDF</a> (which <a href="https://printmaker.docs.topshelfcraft.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Printmaker</a> seems to be based on).</p>

<p>Rather than render content out as HTML, I need to create PDFs for a project I'm working on.

# Create Plugin to generate PDF files from content

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-03-06)

Rather than render content out as HTML, I need to create PDFs for a project I'm working on. I was planning on using [TCPDF](http://www.tcpdf.org/) in a custom plugin, but having played around with it a little, it does seem very limited it terms of the HTML/CSS you can throw at it.

Are there any better solutions out there? It can either be PHP based or maybe Javascript instead.

Just in case anyone was wondering, it looks like I'll be going with [mPDF](https://mpdf.github.io), it seems to have better HTML/CSS support than either [TCPDF](http://www.tcpdf.org) or [domPDF](https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf) (which [Printmaker](https://printmaker.docs.topshelfcraft.com) seems to be based on).
