Hi all, First thanks for your interest in webkit2pdf. I wasn't aware of the cutycapt and wkhtmltopdf packages, but now that you mention them and after having tested both alternatives I still prefer webkit2pdf, see below.

I see no advantages in having webkit2pdf in Debian too, so far. Care to compare and expand your rationale? Sure. First, it's GTK+-based and doesn't depend on QT libraries like the other two. Other important reason it has a minimalistic GUI which allows previewing the result, while retaining the ability to just work on the command line if the right parameters are supplied. The others are not capable of this. Also gets some extra points for being also the smallest of the three: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28576 Feb 3 16:24 /usr/bin/webkit2pdf -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 41056 Jul 2 2010 /usr/bin/cutycapt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 275520 Oct 12 23:26 /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf My impression is that is also faster, though I've not done extensive timings. Is as fast as or slightly faster than wkhtmltopdf and a lot faster than cutycapt (I guess this being a SVN version has room for improvement). And finally, this is subjective and also is probably dependent on the page's CSS, but the default result of webkit2pdf is more readable to me than the others on the same pages. I'll update the long description with the non-subjective items :) It seems neither cutycapt nor wkhtmltopdf (as compiled in Debian) allows to convert hyperlinks. Does webkit2pdf allows this? Nope, the URLs are appended after the linked texts, just like the others. regards, P.S.: Please keep the bug address in Cc, I'm not subscribed to devel@ list. -- Ricardo Mones http://people.debian.org/~mones «Your aims are high, and you are capable of much.» signature.asc Description: PGP signature
