How Can I add HTML And CSS Into PDF

on

 

To generate a PDF document with HTML and CSS, you can use libraries or tools that allow you to convert HTML and CSS content into a PDF format. One popular library for this purpose is wkhtmltopdf, which is a command-line tool that uses the Webkit rendering engine to convert HTML and CSS into PDFs. Here's how you can use it:

  1. Install wkhtmltopdf: You can download and install wkhtmltopdf from the official website: https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html

  2. Create an HTML file: Create an HTML file (example.html) that contains the content you want to convert to a PDF. You can include your HTML markup and CSS styles within this file.

    html
  • <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello, PDF!</h1>
    <p>This is an example PDF generated from HTML and CSS.</p>
</body>
</html>

  • Create a CSS file (optional): If you want to apply custom styles to your HTML content, you can create a separate CSS file (styles.css) and link to it in your HTML file.

    css
  • body {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    background-color: #f0f0f0;
}

h1 {
    color: #333;
}

p {
    font-size: 14px;
}

  • Generate the PDF: Open a command prompt or terminal and run the following command to convert the HTML and CSS files into a PDF:

    bash
    1. wkhtmltopdf example.html output.pdf
      • example.html is the HTML file you created.
      • output.pdf is the name of the generated PDF file.

    2. View the PDF: You can now open and view the generated PDF file (output.pdf) using a PDF viewer.

    wkhtmltopdf will render the HTML content in example.html using the styles from styles.css (if provided) and save the output as a PDF file.

    Please note that wkhtmltopdf is a command-line tool, and you'll need to have it installed on your system to use it. There are also other libraries and tools available for generating PDFs from HTML and CSS in various programming languages, so you may explore alternative solutions if you prefer a different approach or need programmatic control over PDF generation.
