Making accessible tagged PDFs with Prince - the latest build of Prince gives you even more control. A simple and practical guide by @brucel (9 minute read).

"CSS doesn't have a notion of page "spreads", but the "float-defer" properties make it possible to place an image over a spread: one part of the image is shown on the left page, and the other part is on the right." @wiumlie shows how! Warning: Geese.

Prince 14 adds new ways to float images - to the inside or outside margins; to the top or bottom of the page, or individual columns, to repel other content, and more. See the illustrated guide, with lots of geese!

Prince 13.6 is out, including support for SSL version TLSv1.3, signed and notarised Prince binaries to avoid warnings on MacOS Catalina, a whole lot of tasty improvements of SVG and CSS filters, and a load of bug fixes in PDF tagging for accessibility:

The fantastic 500 page httparchive's 2020 almanac is out. As is fitting for this annual look at the markup, CSS and accessibility of 7 million sites, the PDF version is a tagged, accessible PDF generated by Prince from the source HTML.

@oscherler Thank you!

@mbrevda We don't have a release date set yet, as we're at the stage of scoping the work.

@metageeky @kraut0xA Hi, Prince can certainly make PDF/UA profiled PDFs - here's an explainer

RT @wezm: I'm working on implementing SVG OpenType support in @prince_xml and Fattern might be my favourite font — so fun!

@printcssrocks @MWiedenmaier Thank you!

@printcssrocks @MWiedenmaier That's a pretty deer — where is it from?

A nice looking deer converted to PDF by Prince!

@asciimike Hi - this text is the alternate text for the small logo that the free version of Prince adds on the top right of the first page of the PDF it produces. For some reason, Google Drive turns this into a comment when a PDF is imported. (We had no idea it does this, just tested it.)

Hot on the heels of our article on using Prince with node on AWS, here's how to use Prince with PHP on AWS. Thanks to @thebeebs and @sil for their advice on wrangling AWS.
