A pure Go wrapper around the wkhtmltopdf command-line utility for generating PDF documents from HTML/CSS templates. It exposes all wkhtmltopdf options as typed struct members and manages option ordering, input pages, and output buffers for server-side use.

Use cases

• generate pdf invoices from html templates in go
• convert html to pdf from a golang server
• create pdf reports with tables and images from html/css
• render html pages to pdf programmatically
• generate pdfs from http(s) urls in go
• produce print-quality pdfs with css print media

When to choose

• you need to generate PDFs from HTML/CSS templates in a Go application
• you want type-safe access to wkhtmltopdf options with IDE completion
• you need to combine multiple HTML documents into one PDF with per-page options
• you want to feed input via io.Reader and capture output in a buffer or io.Writer

When to avoid

• starting a new project, since wkhtmltopdf itself is archived and unmaintained
• you need a pure-Go PDF renderer with no external binary dependency
• you need actively developed HTML-to-PDF features or modern CSS support
• your environment cannot install the wkhtmltopdf command-line tool
