This project consists of two parts:
- A CLI tool that converts web pages to PDFs
- A wrapper around chromiumoxide that allows for a more streamlined experience when creating PDFs
The main new feature compared to other PDF converters is the ability to create a single page PDF, that fits to the content, instead of a standard multi-page PDF.
It also allows provides the ability to use screen instead of printing CSS, thereby converting exactly what the user sees on the screen.
- Install chromium
cargo install web2pdf
For the CLI tool, run "web2pdf --help"
Examle usage:
web2pdf --mono --screen --disable-backgrounds "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(programming_language)" rust.pdf
web2pdf "document.html" rust.pdf
(Warning: Paths relative to home are not supported e.g. ~/document.html but /home/user/document.html will work)
