Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't this create PDF directly?
Browser-based PDF generation requires server-side processing or large libraries. This approach uses your browser's built-in print-to-PDF, which produces high-quality results without dependencies.
What page size should I choose?
A4 is standard internationally. Letter (8.5"x11") is standard in the US. Choose based on your audience's location and printing preferences.
How do I control page breaks?
Add CSS page-break-before or page-break-after properties to your HTML. For example: style="page-break-before: always" forces a new page.
Can I add headers and footers?
Browser print settings allow adding page numbers, dates, and URLs to headers and footers. For custom headers/footers, use CSS @page rules.
Why do some elements look different in PDF?
Print rendering differs from screen rendering. Some CSS properties behave differently in print media. Always preview before finalizing.
How do I include background colors?
In the print dialog, enable "Background graphics" or similar option. This setting is often disabled by default to save ink.
