HTML to PDF Demo

This project is a demo of exporting HTML content as PDFs using various html-to-pdf libraries. It features a lengthy styled table so that we can explore pieces of functionality like table column headers, table footers, page headers and footers, page numbers, and table styles.

HTML to PDF Libraries Used

Example Exports

I've included several PDFs in the example-exports directory containing the output from the various libraries I explored.

Project Structure

This project is set up in the simplest way possible: no build tools, just an index.html file and some JavaScript files. The main JavaScript file is called pdfExportMethods.js and contains the setup code for each PDF export option. The other JavaScript files are the third-party libraries that I've included in the project rather than pulling from a CDN.

Running Locally

Since there are no build tools included, simply use a static site hosting tool of your choice to run this locally. Some of my favorites are MAMP (or WAMP or LAMP) or the VS Code "Live Server" extension.
