This modules converts HTML code to PDF or Image files using libwkhtmltox (aka wkhtmltopdf, wkhtmltoimage). It does not run wkhtmltopdf or wkhtmltoimage binaries thus no extra CPU/memory cost for each conversion operation. It is suitable for batch HTML to PDF/Image conversions.

Note: This is currently experimental and API may change. Please DO NOT use in a production environment.

Example

# Print library version
my $version = Wkhtmltox::PDF.version;
say "wkhtmltopdf version: $version";

# Create pdf object
my $pdf = Wkhtmltox::PDF.new;

# Print global setting values
say $pdf.get-global-setting("size.pageSize");

# Set global settings values
$pdf.set-global-setting("size.pageSize", "A4");

# Convert HTML to PDF
my $html = "Perl 6 rocks!";
my $pdf-blob = $pdf.render($html);
"sample.pdf".IO.spurt($pdf-blob) if $pdf-blob.defined;

# Call only once to cleanup resources
$pdf.destroy;
