Gotenberg - Generate PDF´s from Office, HTML

https://gotenberg.dev/ should be self explanatory i hope I think it would integrate nicely with the auth proxy to protect from unauthorized access.
No addons required. Not even anything to backup

Is there a test instance? I didn’t see one.
I’d be VERY interested if it produces accurate PDFs (i.e. as close as possible to the original layout) from an URL.
I have tried many such online services to produce accurately formatted PDFs (since printing to PDF via browser usually produces horrible results) and most failed (I need such accurate results for forensic work to show e.g. to a court the state of a website at a given time…)
There was one good one ending in „co.uk“, but I can’t find it anymore. -

Not one with a UI, but seemingly yes via API:

@necrevistonnezr i also experienced not the very best results for existing web pages. However, passing your own HTML with fonts and styling as well as JS works quite flawless.
Also playing with the available settings might improve the settings.
