This is definitely a somewhat painful process. I have done it with puppeteer / chromium on Debian, and it works very well after the headache of figuring it out. Having to pay 50 cents per PDF and deal with a 3rd party vendor would not provide value for our needs.

We've updated our pricing, and it can go as low as $0.005 per document. True, you'll still need to work with a third-party vendor, but isn't it worth considering if the features are competitive and the interface is user-friendly? It would be interesting to know what might convince you to switch from Puppeteer to another solution—or if you're completely satisfied and wouldn't switch regardless of the offerings, which is perfectly fine.

For me, it's probably not going to make sense since I already did the work. I think you should pitch it at people that don't want to bother to figure it out (could be several days of engineering time).
