Simple to use html to pdf converter. Based on https://wkhtmltopdf.org/

Revamped version of the existing Html2PdfConverter

Why did I build a new version?
The Component was rewritten from the ground up, introducing new functionalities but also breaking changes. Version 1.x.x of Html2PdfConverter will still be available but with limited support.

What's so different in this version?

  • No more setup/downloads of binaries like in the older versions. Binaries will be downloaded automatically if they're not yet available.
  • Most used arguments are now available as OutSystems variables for easy configuration of the PDF settings.
  • Added One Time GUIDs (Tokens) for better security on anonymous screens.
  • You can watermark generated PDFs (or any other PDF you want).
  • Only Service Actions exposed, no more strong dependencies.
  • More verbose information in the whole process to help troubleshoot possible problems/errors.


TODO

  • Add possibility to set up custom binaries via zip file.
  • Improve bits of the code.
  • Create one separate Management App to support custom configurations, see logs, and troubleshoot the convert processes.



Statistics

What's this?

We collect usage data (you're free to opt-out) to measure utilization of the component. Data we collect: number of conversions and time of conversions, nothing more. You can see the source code to understand how we do it. Simple, clean and with transparency.

Release notes (2.0.2)
  • Updated Setup_BinariesRemoteUri site property default value to serve wkhtml files from GitHub.
  • Security_AlwaysValidGUID is now randomly created on every new installation. This prevents the possibility of multiple factories having the same GUID.
  • Some code cleanup.
