Dear All,
As improved .pdf prinitnghas been on the wishlist, and is still a bit of an
issue, I revisted the current strategy to use
wkhtmltopdf.
… which is pretty humongous by any stretch of imagination. How about this
one: http://www.weasyprint.org/?
WeasyPrint stems from the same FLOSS community that created Radicale, that
tiny, fast and secure CardDAV/CalDAV server, and, yes, it uses Python.
While I am not at all any expert, I have the feeling that it may be at least
casting an eye over this converter…
Thoughts?
Bests from Kampala,

Hi Chris,
If I remember correctly, we did try weasyprint among many other
solutions (at least Anand and I did try it months before the final
decision) but I don’t remember the reason why we rejected it.
wkhtmltopdf is a huge 35M blob with QT, etc in it but comes really
close to what we see on the browser.
If you find weasyprint better, you can submit a patch (maybe we can
configure the converter configurable).
frappe/pdf.py at develop · frappe/frappe · GitHub has
pdf specific code.
Didn’t know that weasyprint is from the radicale guys 
Thanks,
Pratik
