Introduction

One of the most important features in a reporting tools or framework is the ability to export report to other formats such as PDF. The exported file can be pushed to download from browser, attached to email or simply stored for later used.

For longtime, exporting HTML To PDF is quite difficult due to several reason. First, PDF is still behind browser in term of CSS supporting which makes modern version of CSS does not work in PDF like it does in browser. The same happens to HTML. Second, modern chart and graphs uses Javascript to render. Google Charts suite is a big example. That hinders the ability to include those beautiful charts into PDF.

This Export package solved those problems and more.
