Making accessible tagged PDFs with Prince medium.com/@bruce_39084/maki… - the latest build of Prince gives you even more control. A simple and practical guide by @brucel (9 minute read).
"CSS doesn't have a notion of page "spreads", but the "float-defer" properties make it possible to place an image over a spread: one part of the image is shown on the left page, and the other part is on the right."
@wiumlie shows how! princexml.com/howcome/2021/g…
Warning: Geese.
Hello Prince 14!
🥂 CSS calc() support!
✨ Color emoji fonts and SVG fonts!
🔥 Multipass formatting with JavaScript!

Prince 14 adds new ways to float images - to the inside or outside margins; to the top or bottom of the page, or individual columns, to repel other content, and more. See the illustrated guide, with lots of geese! princexml.com/howcome/2021/g…
ALT Images floated to the inside margins (towards the binding)
ALT Images floated to the outside margin (away from the binding)
ALT Images floated to the top of the page
ALT Images floated to the top of the left-hand column
Prince 13.6 is out, including support for SSL version TLSv1.3, signed and notarised Prince binaries to avoid warnings on MacOS Catalina, a whole lot of tasty improvements of SVG and CSS filters, and a load of bug fixes in PDF tagging for accessibility: princexml.com/releases/13/

As development lead of the @HTTPArchive Web Almanac, I gotta say @prince_xml made it so easy to create this high quality, tagged, accessible PDF from our web content! Great modern CSS and paged CSS support. Highly recommended!
The fantastic 500 page httparchive's 2020 almanac is out. As is fitting for this annual look at the markup, CSS and accessibility of 7 million sites, the PDF version is a tagged, accessible PDF generated by Prince from the source HTML. almanac.httparchive.org/en/2…

4 HTML→PDF products tested: "DocRaptor [powered by Prince] is the most powerful with its simple API & its beautiful PDF output. unlike the others, it is a paid service. However, if your business depends on elegant, professional document generation, it is well worth the cost."
Web apps that contain tables, charts, and graphs often include an option to export the data as a PDF. Have you ever wondered, as a user, what's going on under the hood when you click that button?

I'm working on implementing SVG OpenType support in @prince_xml and Fattern might be my favourite font — so fun! fontspace.com/fattern-font-f…

A few people have asked how to set up Prince to run on AWS/ Lambda, so we've written a step-by-step guide to 'Serverless' Prince. Thanks to @thebeebs and @sil for their help medium.com/@bruce_39084/sett…
Hot on the heels of our article on using Prince with node on AWS, here's how to use Prince with PHP on AWS. Thanks to @thebeebs and @sil for their advice on wrangling AWS. medium.com/@bruce_39084/sett…
Chair of our board, @wiumlie, is part of an interesting discussion at W3C about notes creation and positioning in continuous and paged media github.com/w3c/css-print/iss…

The things I work on at @yeslogic are pretty fun. This is a test case I created for text containing emoji, rendered on a path in an SVG, converted to PDF by @prince_xml.

Very impressed with @prince_xml for creating accessible PDFs from HTML.
Good CSS support including Paged Media obviously but also most other modern CSS properties. And best of all, free for non-commercial use.
Good article from @brucel on it here:

Prince 13.5 fixes font subsetting issue affecting some TrueType fonts, improves performance for long documents using OpenType fonts, updates curl version to fix an issue with AltNames on Windows 7 princexml.com/releases/13/

While I like (and still use) #wkhtmltopdf, I can't believe I just discovered @prince_xml. I *really* like what I've been able to do so far with Paged Media and Generated Content in Prince. princexml.com/
Just out the door! Hello Prince 13.4!
Adds support for auto, clip, and scroll values for the overflow property, and corrects some naughtiness with sizing inline blocks and floats, %s in URLs, Windows font regressions.
Get 'em while they're hot! princexml.com/releases/13/
