Hello Thiago,

Thank you very much for this excellent blog post regarding your exciting new solution for PDF generation using eZ Publish!

I took a moment to share a brief summary of the reasons why this is so important / particularly of interest to both existing paradoxpdf users and new users looking for tools to use for pdf creation:

http://projects.ez.no/paradoxpdf/forum/general/modern_alternatives_to_paradoxpdf_for_pdf_generation

Thank you for sharing the source code to this valuable eZ Publish extension!

We briefly reviewed the code and had a couple of questions for you.

• Would you consider making the mugo_wkhtmltopdf extension installable through composer?
• Would you document the inclusion parent library which is licensed under the MIT license within your extension.xml? Re: https://github.com/mugoweb/mugo_w...5a6ee2804ac1d#commitcomment-11119313
• Would you consider adding a top level LICENSE file to GitHub repository containing the GNU GPL v2 license text? Like, https://github.com/netgen/NetgenEnhancedSelectionBundle/blob/master/LICENSE Since this is a common convention within other such extensions to eZ Publish under the same license.

EDIT: Because we (BC) believe strongly in not asking for others to do work we ourselves would not commit to do on our own and in the interest of greater collaboration ... we have created a pull request containing the changes we have requested: https://github.com/mugoweb/mugo_wkhtmltopdf/pull/1

I hope this helps! Again thank you so much for sharing and we all wish you the very best!

Cheers,
Heath

Looks really good! We do this process with LibreOffice and it's terribly complex and very fragile.

Our process looks something like this:

ezXML (raw data) -> HTML Template -> Unoconv -> LibreOffice -> DOCX & PDF Conversion

We've been looking for a replacement for the LibreOffice -> PDF conversion for a while as we find it can be glitchy.

Hello Heath

We are going to analyze your pull request today, thank you very much! The composer and license suggestions are very welcome!

@Gareth

I am pretty sure you will find wkhtmltopdf way simpler and more flexible.

Hi Heath

We have just merged the pull request and we have also create a new packagist account ( mugoweb ). It seems very good, adding the composer.json file and the license info was a very good idea, we are glad to receive such positives feedback that only help us to keep improving our contributions!

Thank you very much!

Hello Thiago,

Thank you very much for your prompt review and merge of our pull request!

I'm so very happy I was able to collaborate with you / mugo and (I hope) help others!

Hi Thiago,

I used your extension in my latest project as an alternative for ParadoxPDF. Thanks for creating it! I don't regret that choice

Cheers,
