Save to PDF Link

Copy and paste this code into your web pages. It creates a link that converts the containing web page to PDF.

Code

<a href="//pdfcrowd.com/url_to_pdf/?"
   onclick="if(!this.p)href+='&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href);this.p=1">
   Save to PDF
</a>

Options

You can customize the generated PDF using these URL parameters:

URL Parameter	Description
`width`	PDF page width.
`height`	PDF page height. Use -1 for a single page PDF.
`hmargin`	Horizontal page margins.
`vmargin`	Vertical page margins.
`footer_text`	Footer text. The following variables are expanded: $u - Source URL. $p - The current page number. $n - Total number of pages.
`use_print_media`	Uses the print CSS media type if available.
`pdf_name`	The file name of the created PDF. If not specified then the name is auto-generated.

Page dimensions and margins can be specified in inches in, millimeters mm, centimeters cm, or points pt. If no units are specified, points are assumed.

- //pdfcrowd.com/url_to_pdf/?footer_text=page%20$p
Use the print version of the page

Tips

You can use the following classes in your HTML code to hide or remove elements from the output:
- pdfcrowd-remove - sets display:none on the element
- pdfcrowd-hide - sets visibility:hidden on the element
You can force a page break with this HTML:
<div style="page-break-before:always"></div>
You can avoid a page break inside an element with this CSS:
img { page-break-inside:avoid }
Class pdfcrowd-body is automatically set on the body element, you can specify PDF specific styling (since v2.20.10):
.pdfcrowd-body h1 { font-size: 48px; }

How It Works

The web page must be accessible on the public Internet.
Only a web page from the same origin can be converted, it is not possible to specify an URL from a different origin.
