I have been wondering if there is a way to convert a page to a pdf? I have a few people asking me for something and with our recent site crash I'd like to have a pdf copy of some stuff in case someone wants it for offline work or whatever reason.

https://wkhtmltopdf.org/ Command line utility, it's not the best at handling CSS, but it gets the job done.

Could someone try on the Guide and post the result here?

 

You can just save the guide as an HTML archive or page too. Alsom Google should have a cached version:

Here's the result using the tool I linked to: https://www.dropbox....cz9/STEP A4.pdf It doesn't seem to like the fact that the table of contents is next to a table with an A4 size, but it looks better with an A3 size: https://www.dropbox....s93/STEP A3.pdf And you can select a custom page size as well.

That actually looks pretty damn good

What are doing for page breaks and margins?

[CJ2311]

Well there's a lot of arguments for stuff like margins.

 

Setting the command to something like

wkhtmltopdf -B 0 -T 0 -S A3 <url> <file>

should get rid of the bottom and top margins, for instance.

[EssArrBee]

Yeah it works aright for me with T and B at 3 and the size at A4. Also, made a duplicate page without a TOC.
