astro-pdf

Astro integration to generate PDFs from any webpage. Generate PDF versions of pages in your Astro site, or pages on external sites. Note that the PDFs will only be generated during builds and not when running the dev server.

Read the documentation at ler.quest/astro-pdf.

Quickstart

Install and add astro-pdf:

npx astro add astro-pdf

and follow the CLI prompts.

Or, manually install astro-pdf:

npm i -D astro-pdf

and add it to astro.config.mjs (see the example below).

Example

// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import pdf from 'astro-pdf'

// https://astro.build/config
export default defineConfig({
    integrations: [
        pdf({
            // specify base options as defaults for pages
            baseOptions: {
                path: '/pdf[pathname].pdf',
                waitUntil: 'networkidle2',
                maxRetries: 2,
                ...
            },
            // max number of pages to load at once
            maxConcurrent: 2,
            // pages will receive the pathname of each page being built
            pages: {
                '/some-page': '/pages/some.pdf', // output path
                '/other-page': true, // outputs to /other-page.pdf
