Ask HN: What software do you use to generate PDFs?

I need to automatically generate invoices and similar documents as PDFs for clients. Currently I am using headless Chromium + print to pdf calling the front end.

I thought Latex to be too heavyweight for my use case, but I am not completely happy with the styling of my current setup.

Are there good alternatives to generate PDFs server-side?

For my invoices I use a LaTeX template, filled via a Perl program that reads a custom invoice format.

pandoc is suitable for this.
