Getting started

node example-pdf.js
node example-screenshot.js

PDF from URL

const fs = require("mz/fs");
const url2pdf3 = require("url2pdf3");

url2pdf3.renderURL("https://www.google.com")
    .then(pdf => {
        fs.writeFile("mypdf.pdf", pdf).then(() =>
            console.log("See mypdf.pdf!")
        )
    });

Screenshot from URL

const fs = require("mz/fs");
const url2pdf3 = require("url2pdf3");

url2pdf3.renderURL("https://www.google.com", {screenshot: true})
    .then(pdf => {
        fs.writeFile("myscreenshot.png", pdf).then(() =>
            console.log("See myscreenshot.png!")
        )
    });

Render multiple URLs & automatically join the resulting pages

const fs = require("mz/fs");
const url2pdf3 = require("url2pdf3");

url2pdf3.renderURLs(["https://www.google.com", "https://wikipedia.org"])
    .then(pdf => {
        fs.writeFile("mypdf.pdf", pdf).then(() =>
            console.log("See mypdf.pdf!")
        )
    });

PDF From HTML String

Note that loading external resources from the HTML is possible.

const url2pdf3 = require("url2pdf3");
const fs = require("fs");
url2pdf3.renderHTML("<html><body><h1>HELLO WORLD</h1></body></html>")
    .then(function(pdf){
        fs.writeFile('output.pdf',pdf, function(err){
            if(err) {console.error(err)}
            else {console.log('saved pdf to output.pdf')}
        });
    });

Options

{
   // defaults
   format: 'A4',
   scale: 1.5,
   waitUntil: 'networkidle2', //
   margin: { // can be also just margin: '1cm'
      top: '1cm',
      left: '1cm',
      right: '1cm',
      bottom: '1cm'
   },
   pageOpts: { timeout: 60000 }, // Increases the timeout for loading page to 60 seconds
   

   // for debugging
   puppeteer:{
     headless: false,
     devtools: true
  }
}

url2pdf3 and puppeteer options are passed through
default options are supplemented and / or replaced with transferred options
now you can use puppeteerOpts e.g.: headerTemplate and displayHeaderFooter

Joining PDFs.

url2pdf-plus also supported joining PDFs but this functionality has now been rewritten and is now available in the pdf-toolz package.

Note that rendering multiple URLs and automatically concatenating the PDFs is supported.
