This guide helps you migrate from the Save to PDF Link service to WebSave as PDF. The migration is straightforward and can be completed in a few simple steps.

Why migrate? Save to PDF Link is a legacy service that relies on the HTTP referrer header, which is increasingly unreliable due to browser privacy features and HTTPS policies. WebSave as PDF works more reliably and offers better customization options.

This screencast will show you how to easily create a PDF document from a HTML file or a web page in PHP. You will also learn how to serve the PDF file from your PHP web application and download it in the browser.

  1. Activate the free API v2 trial in your account page.
