  • After updating to OS X 10.7 Lion, wkpdf has stopped working, with this error:

  • lockFocus sent to a view which is not in a window. I'm not sure if the 10.7 update is causing this, but that is the primary change to my system and wkpdf doesn't work any longer on any site.

You can also look at PDFCreator (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/). I am using it and am happy.

  • Can it preserve hyperlinks? I just tried it, seem can't preserve hyperlinks and not clickable.

  • @cpps No, it does not preserve hyperlinks. I had the same problem with it.

You have to give us more information. Desktop software or web software? For what operating system?

For example, dompdf is a nice PHP5 HTML to PDF library that even preserves the CSS styling.

  • +1 for dompdf. It's a bit fiddly to get working, especially with images and complex layouts, but it works :)
