Wkpdf — a command line HTML to PDF converter for Mac OS X. Wkpdf is a command line tool for rendering HTML to PDF using WebKit and RubyCocoa on Mac OS X. Although there are plenty of browsers available for Mac OS X, I could not find a command-line tool that allows for downloading a website and storing the rendered website as PDF. This was my motivation for creating wkpdf. The application uses Apple WebKit for rendering the HTML pages, thus the result should look similar to what you get when printing the webpage with Safari. Since wkpdf is based on the state-of-the-art WebKit HTML rendering framework, it provides high-quality web standard compliant HTML rendering with support for advanced CSS2/CSS3 styling. There are plenty of use cases for wkpdf.
Automated generation of reports, invoices, etc. Wkpdf is an open-source software project. Installing wkpdf requires a recent version of RubyGems.

Publishing XML data in HTML and PDF using a single XSLT stylesheet. Storing data, for example as part of an XForms/REST/XQuery [XRX] architecture (see Resources), is commonplace today. You can query, retrieve, and serialize data stored in this manner to the desired format. For web applications, developers might want to allow users to retrieve data in HTML format (to be viewed in their web browser) or as a PDF file (to be downloaded for later use). This article shows how you can convert XML data to HTML, to XSL-FO from that HTML, and to PDF from the XSL-FO with the help of an XQuery extension function based on the CSSToXSLFO tool (see Resources). Converting XML data to other formats Typically, you need two XSL stylesheets to transform data from XML to HTML and XSL-FO: one to transform XML to HTML and one XSL-FO stylesheet to transform the HTML to an XSL-FO document, which you then convert to PDF using an XSL-FO processor.
