Changelog

  • 0.6.0
    • introducing make as build tool (optional) for chromium binaries (puppeteer)
    • BUGFIX: documentation: option pagesize requires string argument (for example "letter" or "A4")
    • updated some npm dependencies for chromium
  • 0.5.7
    • BUGFIX: fix chrome-option parameter handling
  • 0.5.6
    • BUGFIX: fix A4 and A5 paper sizes in inches for chrome-headless: it's not 8.5 x 11.0 (US letter) but 8.26772 x 11.695 (DIN A4), the former being chrome-headless defaults. This is important if you want to create proper A4 pages
    • Users printing US letter sized PDFs, please use page_size: "letter"
  • 0.5.5
    • improved documentation on prefer_system_executable: true for chrome. Thanks to Martin Richer for raising this and a PR
    • improved documentation on no_sandbox: true for chrome in dockerized environment (running as root)
    • clarify that wkhtmltopdf installation snippet is for Ubuntu 18.04.
    • log call options as debug info to Logger
    • add "knows issues" section to README
  • 0.5.4
    • BUGFIX introduced in 0.5.0 that would crash PdfGenerator.PathAgent when chrome isn't found on path in certain situation. Thanks to @radditude for submitting a patch.
  • 0.5.3
    • BUGFIX introduced in 0.5.0 when certain shells don't accept ["foo=bar", …] parameters which should correctly be ["foo", "bar"] Thanks to @egze for submitting a patch.
    • Refactored PathAgent that holds configuration state for readability and more fashionable and extensible error messages. Extensible towards new generators.
    • Updated README to be more elaborative on how to install wkhtmltopdf and chrome-headless-render-pdf
  • 0.5.2
    • BUGFIX introduced in 0.5.0 when global options to wkhtmltopdf weren't accepted any more due to wrong shell parameter order. Thanks to manukall for reporting.
  • 0.5.1
    • allow chrome to be executed as root via default config option disable_chrome_sandbox – this is required for an easy usage within a docker container as in elixir-pdf-server
  • 0.5.0
    • Got rid of Porcelain dependency as it interferes with many builds using plain System.cmd/3. Please note, that as of the documentation (https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/System.html#cmd/3) ports will be closed but in case wkhtmltopdf somehow hangs, nobody takes care of terminating it.
    • Refactored some sections
    • Support URLs instead of just plain HTML
    • Support for chrome-headless for (at least for me) faster and nicer renderings.
    • Since this is hopefully helpful, I rose the version to 0.5.0 even tough the API stays consistent
  • 0.4.0
    • Got rid of misc_random dependency. This was here to manage between depreciated random functions in Erlang. We go ahead using plain Enum.random/1 instead, implementing our own PdfGenerator.Random.string/1 function. This also removes a common pitfall when drafting a release with distillery.
      • Thanks to Hugo Maia Vieira for this contribution!
      • Since Enum.random/1 is only available since September 2015 (three years ago) I am OK with raising the minimum Elixir version to v1.1 – Since this may break projects still running on Elixir v1.0 I bumped the version to 0.4.0*.
  • 0.3.7
    • Adding in raise_on_missing_wkhtmltopdf_binary config, thanks to veverkap
    • Document using xvfb-run with auto-servernum option, thanks to Tony van Riet
  • 0.3.6
    • bumped dependencies:
      • porcelain 2.0.3 to support newer Erlang and remove warnings
      • ex_doc 0.16 to remove warnings, remove from runtime
      • removed explicit earmark
    • add option to pick output PDF filename, thanks to praveenperera
    • improved README on Heroku, corrected typos. Thanks to jbhatab and maggy96
  • 0.3.5
    • add generate_binary and generate_binary! that immediately return the PDF binary instead of an {:ok, filename} tuple.
    • add generate! to immediately return the filename
    • some more tests
    • minor change delete_temporary must be truthy. (the old supported value :html will still work) and will delete both intermediate HTML And PDF files in generate_binary and generate_binary!
  • 0.3.5
    • add generate_binary and generate_binary! that immediately return the PDF binary instead of an {:ok, filename} tuple.
    • add generate! to immediately return the filename
    • some more tests
    • minor change delete_temporary must be truthy. (the old supported value :html will still work) and will delete both intermediate HTML And PDF files in generate_binary and generate_binary!
  • 0.3.4
    • BUGFIX: fix merge confusion to really support xvfb-run or other command prefixes to wkhtmltopdf
    • support explicit deletion of temporary files thanks to Edipo Vinicius da Silva
    • Improve README
  • 0.3.3
    • BUGFIX: typo in config/prod.exs
  • 0.3.2
    • support for command prefixes, most notably xvfb-run to let a wkhtmltopdf which was compiled without an unpatched version of qt run on machines without an x server
    • (add in precompiled, patched binaries for wkhtmltopdf and libjpeg8 that are needed to run wkhtmltopdf without xvfb-run)
  • 0.3.1
    • implement this as proper application, look for executables at startup (and possibly fail on that)
    • save paths in a PfdGenerator.Agent
    • make paths configurable in config/ENV.exs as well
    • add some tests (Yay!)
    • better README- 0.3.0
  • 0.2.0
    • adding support for PDFTK to create encrypted PDFs
    • API-CHANGE PdfGenerator.generate now returns tuple {:ok, file_name} instead of just file_name
    • Adding some docs, issue h PdfGenerator in your iex shell for more info
