BentoPDF

BentoPDF is a lightweight PDF generation tool that builds documents from structured data using SQL queries and HTML templates.

About BentoPDF

BentoPDF turns database query results into PDF documents without needing a separate report server. You write SQL to fetch your data and an HTML template to style the output. The tool compiles both into a clean PDF file. It works well for generating invoices, statements, or any data-driven document.

It connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite databases out of the box. The HTML template engine supports CSS for layout and basic JavaScript for loops and conditionals. BentoPDF runs on Linux and macOS. The project is built in Go, which keeps the binary small and fast with no external runtime dependencies.

BentoPDF is free and open source under the MIT license. It is a good fit for developers who need a scriptable PDF pipeline without the overhead of a full reporting platform. The project is maintained by Alam and other contributors on GitHub.
