About:
PlutoBook is a C++ library for rendering HTML and CSS into paginated output formats like PDF. It leverages the Chrome DevTools Protocol to ensure high-fidelity rendering that matches modern web standards. The library provides a programmatic API for developers to generate paged documents from HTML templates within their applications.
Key Features:
  • High-fidelity rendering using the Chrome DevTools Protocol
  • Programmatic C++ API for easy integration
  • Supports standard HTML5 and CSS3 for complex layouts
  • Generates paginated output suitable for PDF creation
Use Cases:
  • Generating PDF reports and invoices from HTML templates in server-side applications
  • Building custom document generation pipelines that require precise layout control
  • Converting web content to print-ready formats programmatically
Alternatives:
  • WeasyPrint – Python-based visual rendering engine; PlutoBook offers a native C++ solution with Chrome-level fidelity.
  • Puppeteer – Node.js library for browser automation; PlutoBook provides a lower-level C++ library specifically for rendering tasks.
