AEnsure that the Heroku app fetches the wkhtmltopdf library from cloud storage on dyno restart.

BInstall the dependency using sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf from .profile in the project root.

CusQuentin buildpack? More like cusQuentin headache! I'm just going to print all my reports on paper and hand-deliver them. Problem solved.

Installing the dependency from .profile? That's just wrong. Who uses sudo on Heroku anyway? CusQuentin buildpack is clearly the winner here.

Fetching the library from cloud storage on dyno restart? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I'll take the custom buildpack, please.

I'd avoid hosting the library on-premise and building a REST API. That adds unnecessary complexity and maintenance overhead. Go with the custom buildpack!
