I have a workflow model. Internet Explorer doesn't support some features required for model editing functionality (and regular user doesn't need it).

I want a read-only preview of my model. Is it possible to server-side render my HTML to an image?

I would prefer offline solution to allow our system run in corporate LAN without access to internet.

Here are 'local' solutions:

• wkhtmltoimage from the wkhtmltopdf package

  does exactly its name says

• PhantomJS

  more advanced capabilities, like evaluating any js code in the page's context before rendering it to an image or pdf.

You can try using a java library called flyingsaucer (aka xhtmlrenderer). It has worked very well for me in the past.
