Key Features
- https://wkhtmltopdf.org/ was used and Scand developers had to upgrade it to new Qt version (from 4.7 to 4.8).
- Separate server, which could receive print requests and create PDF files was created.
- This server was successfully integrated into the working solution.
Result
Software solution for mass printing.
