DOMPDF Limitations & Known Issues
Printmaker uses the DOMPDF library to generate PDF files. This library carries some known limitations, which you should be aware of before beginning your project:
- The parser is not particularly tolerant to poorly-formed HTML input. (Using Tidy first may help.)
- Large files or large tables can take a while to render.
- While CSS floats are supported, complex floats may run into layout glitches every once in a blue moon.
