We already have a working HTML to PDF conversion script available at the following repository:

Repo Url - https://openforge.gov.in/plugins/git/abc-collabwithgov/HtmlToPdf

While it handles basic HTML well, it fails to consistently render non-English text, especially Hindi and other Indic scripts, due to font encoding or missing font rendering issues.

This task is intended to either improve the existing script or build a fresh, robust version that can reliably generate PDFs from HTML while maintaining full support for multilingual content, including Unicode, Indic scripts, RTL languages, and custom fonts.

CLI or Python function-based interface
