It’s a paid library (Which made it all the more annoying they were commenting on stackoverflow answers with “Sure just use this great library called SelectPDF” and not mentioning the cost), But regardless I wanted to check them out and see what they offered. I got pushed to SelectPDF by a tonne of stackoverflow answers (Kinda felt like maybe they were astroturfing a little…).
And it doesn’t have HTML rendering packaged (And the library that currently does extend it to do HTML templating also doesn’t support. NET Core which is probably going to be a blocker. So basically, in terms of a decent template engine out of the box, it’s a fail. There are ways around this using another library that extends PDFSharp… But that’s still another library that you have to grab and work with. I get it that this was what you had to do in the year 2000, but it’s just not going to fly right now. Gfx.DrawString("Hello, World!", font, XBrushes.Black, new XRect(0, 0, page.Width, page.Height), XStringFormats.Center) XFont font = new XFont("Verdana", 20, XFontStyle.BoldItalic) XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page) So above else, I just want to be up and running in minutes, not hours. Whether it’s some C++ library converted to C#, a library that needs X number of other libraries to actually function, or things just plain don’t work how they should, I’m probably going to see it all. This is probably a pretty subjective one, but when you start seeking out libraries from the corners of the web or that stackoverflow answer from 3 years ago, you often end up getting some really half baked library that just doesn’t work.
What I really don’t want to do is have to place each element manually on the PDF like we had to back in the day when printing a document from a WinForms application. HTML with some XSLT engine), but ideally I just want to feed an HTML file to the library and out comes my PDF. I was open to using some other reasonable alternative (e.g. I had already decided that I wanted to use HTML as my templating mechanism. Freemium is OK as long as the free version is actually useable. single pages only, set number of images allowed per PDF). This example will start a new Tunnel, start a Puppeteer script on the latest Chrome version in TestingBot, and take a screenshot of the website running on your local computer ( Debugging Tipsīelow are some tips on how to debug your Puppeteer scripts.If there is some sort of freemium model in play, then I also wanted to make sure that the limitations weren’t too crazy (e.g. To install Puppeteer, simply use yarn or npm:Ĭonst TestingBot = require ( ' testingbot-api ' ) const tb = new TestingBot ()() Please see the documentation below on how to run Puppeteer tests on Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers in the TestingBot cloud.
Puppeteer is an automation framework which uses the Chrome Devtools protocol to automate a browser.
