Converting to PDF

The easiest way to convert HTML to PDF is using the web browser's built-in print function because the default template is designed for A4 paper. If you used the custom template, you may need to adjust something to make it printable.

Pandoc and wkkhtmltopdf are two cross-platform solutions if your web browser cannot convert HTML pages to PDF.
