Thanks!
openhtmltopdf seems to be a good choice. I quickly tryied it and it's easy
to use it. Moreover CSS running elements are working which is really useful
for creating header and footer.
Running elements example :
header {
display: block;
position: running(pageHeader);
}
footer {
div.page-num span:before {
content: counter(page);
}
display: block;
position: running(pageFooter);
}
@page {
margin: 100px;
@bottom-center {
content: element(pageFooter);
}
@top-center {
content: element(pageHeader);
}
}
