Athena is a Docker-powered HTML-to-PDF conversion tool consisting of an Electron-based CLI and a Go microservice, designed as a drop-in replacement for wkhtmltopdf. It offers reliable headless PDF generation with an optional 'aggressive' clutter-free reading mode.
Use cases
- convert html pages to pdf from the command line
- replace wkhtmltopdf with a more reliable pdf converter
- run pdf conversion as a microservice over http
- generate pdf reports from web pages in headless environments
- produce clutter-free pdf versions of web articles
When to choose
- you need dependable headless HTML-to-PDF conversion and wkhtmltopdf keeps crashing
- you want to expose PDF conversion as an HTTP microservice in Docker or Kubernetes
- you want a drop-in wkhtmltopdf alternative with Docker as the only dependency
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained project - Athena is deprecated and unsupported
- you want to avoid Docker or Electron dependencies
- you need advanced PDF features beyond simple HTML rendering
