electron-pdf-js

A command line tool to generate PDF from URL, HTML or Markdown files with electron.

This is a fork of the original electron-pdf package to add in additional options including enabling javascript to be executed, custom height/width of the rendering browser window, allowing use of external insecure content i.e. scripts and images and inclusion of a debug mode.

Install

npm install electron-pdf-js -g
