Download web pages as PDF from your own (sub)domain
Some of our users have asked the following question over time: How can we create a ‘save as PDF’ link, without showing that we are using the HTM2PDF service to generate the PDF? This question is typically asked by companies that like the simplicity of our ‘save as PDF’ links, but want to keep the… Read more »
Sample code for website to PDF conversion
Some time ago we wrote a post about how to convert an entire website to PDF by using our conversion service. In this post we’ll show you some sample code that you can use when you’re coding in PHP. In PHP you can use our full-blown web to pdf sdk, which allows you to easily… Read more »
Looking for web to PDF mashups!
We’d like to think that our pages have lot of examples to work with. The SDK is fully explained and, since it’s a complete library, there’s no reason for you to write any code yourself when you use that. The HTML to PDF API page also has plenty of code examples and we’d like to… Read more »
Turning your entire website into one PDF
Recently we’ve been receiving more requests for a complete website to PDF conversion. These needs typically arise when companies want to have an archived version of their website or use a PDF as a catalogue version or due to other reasons.

We have also made the parameters pagesize and orientation available to both the API as well as the save as PDF link. This will allow… Read more »
Saving pages from your own domain as PDF
Whenever you use our service to convert web pages or HTML to PDF, you will notice that the PDF is always downloaded from one of OUR subdomains e.g. europe.htm2pdf.co.uk. In case you’re using the API or the SDK, then this probably will not be an issue for you as you can store the PDF on… Read more »
Data processing and “cloud” processing
Lately we have been getting a lot of inquiries about where we do our actual conversion. These inquiries are mostly related to data protection laws in the jurisdiction of the person or company inquiring about this. Ever since ‘cloud computing’ has become popular, more and more companies are concerned that it’s no longer clear where… Read more »
Posting raw HTML to the API
Since the first time we rolled out the HTML to PDF API, it has been accepting POST as well as GET requests. But – in all our innocence – we always thought that people would find it easier to use a GET request. Simply because it’s so much more intuitive. We were obviously mistaken! Now… Read more »
