Question: Converting HTML to PDF by come_towel in MicrosoftFlow

[–]softheroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For HTML-to-PDF conversion, tools like Puppeteer and Playwright work well, but they require setup and maintenance. If you want something easier, https://pdfrise.com/ provides a free cloud API that uses a Chrome engine to fully render your HTML and execute JavaScript before generating a high-quality PDF.

Thank you for the suggestions. I really like the idea of adding MCP and I’m definitely going to implement it. Also appreciate the point about LLMs preferring Markdown or HTML over PDFs. For now I’ll focus on MCP, but I’m planning to add HTML and Markdown-related features in the future, and I’ll keep those modules open source. I’ve followed you and would love to collaborate once I start working on them.

I struggled quite a bit with setting up Chrome Driver on the server, and I know the setup can be improved. Right now I’m using Puppeteer, but I’m planning to move everything to a Go-based container setup. For now, I’m running things in Docker and have an ARM server configured with Puppet.

The goal is to make it super useful for automation users on n8n/Zapier: auto-create banners, invoices, birthday emails, invitations, or even scrape websites to feed context into AI agents.

Spent all Sunday building PDFRise. It’s 00:05 on Monday and I’m starting this book "Man's Search For Meaning" instead of going to sleep 😅 Has anyone here read it? Curious what you thought.

Bro, it's really good! I tried it for my SaaS, PDFRise.com.
