NODE-PDF-LFS

Who is this package going help ?

• To all the people who generat large amounts of HTML reports for any sort of execution / Process and want to convert them to PDF's due to requirements.
• This can help you generate PDF's from your existing HTML REPORTS, I did bench-marks with 25000 pages of PDF conversion : Say a 400 MB HTML to PDF took about ~45 Mins
• Yes < 5000 pages, you have it in less than ~5 mins, More the pages more the time. But let's assume your max cap is going to be 1 hr MAX

What issue does this solve ?

• Chrome is our goto tool to generate PDF's atleast from HTML's, But when our size of HTML gets larger we end up facing issues
• So here we follow a DIVIDE AND CONQUER method to get things done.

What's Special ?

• Define what contents you expect in a A4-Size page of your report and split them with the tags

  <page></page>                       <!-- This defines your page split -->
  <globalsettings></globalsettings>   <!-- Defines what should be repeated in each page / HTML buffer -->

• Supports CSS3, No matter how heavy your CSS is, The package handles it for you (Maybe try adjusting the variable --min-page-buffer if it's too heavy
