How to convert HTML to PDF in Javascript

Ah, file format converting, everyone’s favorite subject. What do you say we skip all the hard stuff and just knock this out in a couple of minutes instead? Let’s get to it.

We begin by using this script tag to import our API client:

<script src="https://cdn.cloudmersive.com/jsclient/cloudmersive-document-convert-client.js"></script>

With our API now available for function calls, we shall utilize convertWebHtmlToPdf with this block of code:

var CloudmersiveConvertApiClient = require('cloudmersive-convert-api-client');
var defaultClient = CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ApiClient.instance;
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
var Apikey = defaultClient.authentications['Apikey'];
Apikey.apiKey = 'YOUR API KEY';
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.apiKeyPrefix = 'Token';
var apiInstance = new CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ConvertWebApi();
var input = new CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.HtmlToPdfRequest(); // HtmlToPdfRequest | HTML to PDF request parameters
var callback = function(error, data, response) {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
} else {
console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
}
};
apiInstance.convertWebHtmlToPdf(input, callback);

Whew, that was easy, eh? APIs make everything a snap. Need format conversion for other document types? We have functions that work with DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, legacy versions of these, and many more. The sky is the limit!
