Limitations removed when using this module:

  • No control over page flow (e.g. page break).
  • Little or no control over page header and footer.
  • You need HTML skills to change the layout.
  • The rendering is slow and need a lot of memory, because it needs to render the HTML.
  • Complex tables make troubles.
  • Vector graphics can not be implemented, therefore the printing of the document can be problematic.
  • You are limited by HTML's capabilities.
  • No hyphenation.
