Can WeasyPrint fit to Paper Size Automatically

Question

I used to work for an organization that used Prince XML to generate PDF's of HTML documents. That organization has since folded, and I no longer have access to that Prince license. Since I don't have four grand between the couch cushions, I've been attempting to use WeasyPrint to render HTML invoices to PDF. My HTML & CSS are both quite simple, so Weasy has no problem rendering them accurately, with on caveat. I cannot get the page to scale down automatically to the paper size like I could in prince using:

@page {
prince-shrink-to-fit:auto;
}

Does anyone know if Weasy supports any similar command before I rework the CSS of the entire site to generate smaller documents?

Answer 1

By looking around for some ideas to format the pdf rendered by weasyprint, I found this question which might answer your question.

@page {
            size: Letter;
            margin: 0in 0.44in 0.2in 0.44in;
    }

WeasyPrint page size wrong. (8.27in x 11.69 in)

Answer 2

WeasyPrint does not support anything like this at the moment. Prince’s documentation is pretty sparse on what it does exactly. How is "the width of the content" determined? Given a proper specification of the feature, I could tell how hard it would be to add to WeasyPrint.

By the way, I do not usually watch StackOverflow for WeasyPrint question. Writing to WeasyPrint’s mailing list or issue tracker will get more response.
