And just to revive my part of this thread: The work required to get wkhtmltopdf to compile on Solaris (which is what our servers run) is looking like it's going to cost considerably more than just buying a licence for Prince, so that's what we're probably gonna go with.
I tried... god knows I tried... to get wkhtmltopdf to compile under Solaris. But I was soon very out of my depth with library conflict errors, and many days of wasted effort chucked down the toilet... I'd be tempted to drop Solaris, almost, but that's a big change to a lot of other stuff that just works very well at the moment.
