I wrote a solution in 2010 that used headless Firefox with some plugins to generate a PDF and then had the graphic designer write print CSSes. It was driven by Perl and was a convenient way for non-programmers to design forms.

Unfortunately, that server and software stack is still around and still in production.

that means you did a good job.

2010-era Firefox is probably plagued by security holes.

If your print-file generation code tries to exploit the headless browser you use to turn its outputs into PDF something has gone very wrong already.
