## Notes

Athena PDF converts HTML pages to PDF inside Docker containers. It ships as two parts: a command line tool, which the project describes as an Electron program, and a Go microservice called weaver that runs conversions for other programs. The [quick start](https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf/blob/master/weaver/docs/quick-start.md) runs the microservice with a single `docker run` command, and the README presents the command line tool as a replacement for wkhtmltopdf.

## Worth knowing

The repository is archived on GitHub, and the README states that the project is deprecated and no longer supported.
