💡 Ideas to Improve openpdf-html

  • Improve HTML5 and CSS support!

  • Consider using Jsoup for HTML parsing. https://jsoup.org/

  1. Improve @media query handling

    • ✅ Partial support exists — expand support for more media types (e.g., screen, all, min-width, max-width)
    • 📈 Benefit: Enables more responsive PDF rendering based on CSS print rules.

  2. Add support for display: flex (basic Flexbox)

    • ⛔ Currently unsupported
    • 📈 Benefit: Allows rendering of modern layouts commonly used in HTML/CSS today.

  3. Enhance <table> rendering

    • 🛠 Improve support for thead, tfoot, colspan, rowspan, and automatic header repetition across pages.
    • 📈 Benefit: Enables more professional and structured reports.

  4. Implement position: fixed for headers/footers

    • ⛔ Not currently rendered as fixed
    • 📈 Benefit: Allows sticky headers or footers for printed documents, great for page numbers and branding.

  5. Improve font fallback and international character support

    • 🛠 Improve behavior when specified fonts are missing; better default to system or bundled fonts.
    • 📈 Benefit: Better support for multilingual PDFs and consistent rendering.

  6. Add support for <svg> elements

    • ⛔ Not supported
    • 📈 Benefit: Enables vector graphics, icons, and charts to be rendered natively.

  7. Improve image rendering (e.g. <picture>, srcset)

    • 🛠 Support HTML <picture> tag and srcset attributes to choose optimal image resolution.
    • 📈 Benefit: Better image quality and optimization in PDF output.

  8. Support @font-face for embedded custom fonts

    • ⛔ Not yet supported
    • 📈 Benefit: Allows authors to use brand fonts directly from CSS in the final PDF.

  9. Render CSS box-shadow and text-shadow

    • ⛔ Shadows are currently ignored
    • 📈 Benefit: Improves fidelity of modern UI and design-heavy HTML.

  10. Expose a debug/render tree output for PDF generation

    • 🧪 Provide a debug mode that outputs the parsed render tree or layout model.
    • 📈 Benefit: Makes debugging layout issues much easier for developers.
