HTML to PDF Converter

Description

The “HTML to PDF Converter” WordPress plugin created by html2pdf.app, provides an easy way to convert any WordPress page or post to a PDF file. Simply install the plugin, configure your API key and conversion settings, and use the shortcode [html2pdf text="Save as PDF"] to add a PDF conversion link to any page or post on your site.

Plugin Settings

To configure the plugin, go to the “Settings -> HTML to PDF” page and enter your html2pdf.app API key. You can get the API key by registering an account on https://dash.html2pdf.app/registration.

You can also customize the PDF conversion settings, including the format, orientation (portrait or landscape), margins, and custom page size.

Usage

To display the PDF conversion link using the shortcode, simply add the following shortcode to any page or post: [html2pdf text="Save as PDF"]

Examples

Use “media” parameter to activate special styles for printing: [html2pdf text="Save as PDF" media="print"].

CSS example to show only relevant part of the web page:

@media print {
  /* Hide everything */
  * {
      visibility: hidden;
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
  }

  /* Make only your desired content visible */
  .your-visible-content * {
      visibility: visible;
  }

  /* Optionally hide the conversion link from the PDF */
  .html2pdf_button {
      visibility: hidden!important;
  }
}

Not for dynamic pages!

Good try!But!The website is not taken over directly, but probably rebuilt by html2pdf on their server. This means that only static pages can be transferred. But I have a website where a query runs on the posts. These variables are lost and the PDF page second only scrap. Too bad, two hours invested for nothing. Zero Star!
