Thanks for posting this. I was actually just today looking for a solutions to render a website as a PDF, and didn’t get as far as puppeteer – which is probably too heavy a dependency for my use case, but is still nice to know about.

Does anyone know of a print-oriented web-browser that understands CSS? It seems like the kind of thing that would be useful to many.

A few years ago I used wkhtml2pdf, which is a version of Qt webkit focused to turning webpages to PDF.

Looked up the project, and it looks like it's almost dead due to Qt dropping webkit, though.

Thanks for writing that up! I had no idea about paged.js and it’s pretty close to what I was looking for.
