    There are a ton of options depending on your tech level.

    How are you with basic Python scripts?

        I’ve used pdfkit to considerable success. It has a few system-level dependencies, but the instructions are pretty straightforward:

        # apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
        $ pip install pdfkit

        Surely you can figure out how to use existing libraries for this task, or is there something you’re stuck on?

        In a production web app I use Gotenberg. It’s definitely overkill for the task at hand, but if you find yourself doing this often I would highly recommend it. It’s dead easy to convert HTML (and I imagine XHTML) to PDF.
