Outside the scope of Mezzanine/Cartridge, I am getting amazing results using athenapdf <https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf> to convert HTML to PDF. I manage a sprawling Python application that had a homebrew and long-in-the-tooth webkit integration in c++ and Python to generate PDF. I replaced it with http calls to the athenapdf microservice. The performance and quality have been astounding.
