Convert HTML pages to a PDF file

Post by catherine »

Hi,
Is there any way to convert HTML pages to a PDF file.
For now, we write scripts to generate PDF files and automatically send the PDF files to our remote server.

I also find that there is a PDF button besides the Print button on Oxygen online documentation.
Like this page:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... ml5-2.html

May I know how do you achieve it?
Did you send PDF files to a server and then users get the PDF file from the server, or is the PDF file automatically converted the moment users click the PDF button?

Thanks,
Catherine

Hello Catherine,

Sure there is a way: you may use Oxygen PDF Chemistry which uses CSS in order to transform XML or HTML in PDF.
You will find more information here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/chemistry-htm ... erter.html

You can use it with command line in order to integrate it into your publishing workflow.

Regards,
Julien
