Making accessible tagged PDFs with Prince @bruce_39084/making-accessible-tagged-pdfs-with-prince-ad7fd7a48711" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@bruce_39084/m… - 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! #spreads" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">princexml.com/howcome/2021/g… 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! princexml.com/howcome/2021/g…

Hello Prince 14! 🥂 CSS calc() support! ✨ Color emoji fonts and SVG fonts! 🔥 Multipass formatting with JavaScript! 🦄New column and page float features! 🎉 and, of course it produces tagged, accessible PDFs. 🆓 Free for non-commercial use. princexml.com/releases/14/

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: princexml.com/releases/13/

As development lead of the @HTTPArchive Web Almanac, I gotta say @prince_xml made it so easy to create this high quality, tagged, accessible PDF from our web content! Great modern CSS and paged CSS support. Highly recommended!

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. almanac.httparchive.org/en/2020/

@hdv @NikkitaFTW Here's an article by @brucel on how to do it @bruce_39084/making-accessible-tagged-pdfs-with-prince-ad7fd7a48711?source=friends_link&sk=c678bc781dd853b0eb98480b1b59e5ff" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@bruce_39084/m…

@oscherler Thank you!

@prince_xml They talk about you.

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

@prince_xml Awesome! ETA?

@prince_xml any plans to support? twitter.com/jaffathecake/s…

@metageeky @kraut0xA Hi, Prince can certainly make PDF/UA profiled PDFs - here's an explainer @bruce_39084/making-accessible-tagged-pdfs-with-prince-ad7fd7a48711" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@bruce_39084/m…

@kraut0xA @prince_xml I'll look into it

Every time I see pandoc mentioned, I check to see if it output tagged PDFs. I should stop checking.

I'm working on implementing SVG OpenType support in @prince_xml and Fattern might be my favourite font — so fun! fontspace.com/fattern-font-f…

@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.)

This is a first: embedded comments in PDFs as a growth hack. Anyone know of other companies besides @prince_xml that do this?

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. @bruce_39084/setting-up-prince-on-ec2-with-php-f1604db5d754?sk=b464b687d16b785aed21785c0dd5712c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@bruce_39084/s…

A few people have asked how to set up Prince to run on AWS/ Lambda, so we've written a step-by-step guide to 'Serverless' Prince. Thanks to @thebeebs and @sil for their help @bruce_39084/setting-up-prince-on-aws-lambda-and-api-gateway-4d524dcb035b?source=friends_link&sk=9466698a7efb80316d47c906ebc808e9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@bruce_39084/s…
