Ask HN: What made you move back to HTML-to-PDF in production?

gokulsiva Tuesday, January 13, 2026

Curious what broke first — pagination, tables, fonts, or maintainability.

Context: I’m asking because I’m building an open-source tool around server-side HTML → PDF and keep seeing teams try “lighter” libraries first, then fall back to headless Chrome in production.

Curious where that tipping point was for you.
