You know the options that we have:

- htmltopdf - very poor quality
- csstoxslfo + Apache FO - poor quality, fragile
- python-pisa: half-baked, lots of issues related to performance and
stability
- weasyprint: dependencies like pycairo are hard to install (actually never
got it working)
- wkhtmltopdf: interesting approach (Webkit render) but apparently
unmaintained
- reportlab/RML: good quality but too low-level and does not directly work
with HTML input

This was it...and then we are in the league of commercial PDF converters.

Quality has its price here - and regarding PDF converters: you get what you
pay for.
