Suggestion: html to pdf

Post by zarkogajic »

Hi Support,

I know there's no plugin or similar to have an html page converted to pdf by simply opening the html in EU Editor (and I know about PDF-XChange Standard Printer being capable of printing a web page to pdf).

A suggestion: incorporate/implement wkhtmltopdf as an html to pdf converter (/plugin): https://wkhtmltopdf.org/libwkhtmltox/

p.s.
Initially I thought of posting this in EU Editor forum - but since this is a task for pdfx developers - better to post it here :)

p.s.
Of course, I'm aware this would not be a straight forward thingie to develop - but at the end (I guess) all users will benefit.

Hello, zarkogajic

That is not entirely true, So long as you are using a chromium based web browser, we do in-fact now offer a method to convert webpages directly to PDF. Simply open any chromium based browser, while the PRO bundle is installed, and you should be prompted to enable our plugin. Once that is done, you can click the "convert to PDF" button within the browser addin to begin the process:

As far as I am aware, we have no plans to offer this with the SDK products, but I will double check with the Dev team and post back here if I am wrong.

Kind regards,

Hi Daniel,

Thanks. As you can imagine I was asking for this in SDK (/EU Editor) - to be able to drag-drop (or open) an HTML page and it gets converted to PDF - like what happens with DOC[X] files.

So, not to need to go to Browser or anything alike :)

Hello, zarkogajic

My apologies for misunderstanding, I have forwarded this to our Dev team for their consideration.

They have informed me that we are already working on proper html to PDF conversion using MS Edge components though, so although they will review the site you linked, they may not be making a change midway through this development.

Kind regards,
