EssArrBee Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 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.

0 CJ2311 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 https://wkhtmltopdf.org/ Command line utility, it's not the best at handling CSS, but it gets the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 z929669 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Could someone try on the Guide and post the result here? You can just save the guide as an HTML archive or page too.

0 CJ2311 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Here's the result using the tool I linked to: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gl502nj61d16cz9/STEP%20A4.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.com/s/xt4kzwezcnids93/STEP%20A3.pdf And you can select a custom page size as well.

0 CJ2311 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Well there's a lot of arguments for stuff like margins. Setting the command to something likewkhtmltopdf -B 0 -T 0 -S A3 <url> <file>should get rid of the bottom and top margins, for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EssArrBee Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 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. https://copy.com/2oNEWtPLfx4N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
