Description

A JavaScript-powered CLI for converting HTML into PDFs.

EXPERIMENTAL: This project is still in the very early stages and should not be relied upon for production. At this point, I'm just looking for feedback and fixing bugs.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 12.22+

Usage

Install using [npm][npm] or [yarn][yarn]:

npm install @humanwhocodes/print-ready --save

# or

yarn add @humanwhocodes/print-ready

Then on the command line:

npx print-ready foo.html

This will render foo.html to a file named foo.pdf. You can also override the output filename:

npx print-ready foo.html -o bar.pdf

How It Works

PrintReady uses PagedJS to render your HTML file inside Puppeteer and then exports a PDF from Puppeteer.

Developer Setup

  1. Fork the repository
  2. Clone your fork
  3. Run npm install to setup dependencies
  4. Run npm test to run tests

Acknowledgements

This project is based on PagedJS-CLI, an MIT-licensed project. While not strictly a fork, this project does use some code from PagedJS-CLI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't you just use the PagedJS-CLI?

I tried, but it kept crashing on me and it doesn't appear to be maintained any longer. Rather than giving up, I decided to write my own.

Why haven't you implemented all the features PagedJS-CLI?

For my purposes I don't need all of the features of PagedJS-CLI. However, I'm open to contributions to add those extra features.
