NAME PDF::FromHTML - Convert HTML documents to PDF SYNOPSIS my $pdf = PDF::FromHTML->new( encoding => 'utf-8' ); # Loading from a file: $pdf->load_file('source.html'); # Or from a scalar reference: # $pdf->load_file(\$input); # Perform the actual conversion: $pdf->convert( # With PDF::API2, font names such as 'traditional' also works Font => 'font.ttf', LineHeight => 10, Landscape => 1, ); # Write to a file: $pdf->write_file('target.pdf'); # Or to a scalar reference: # $pdf->write_file(\$output); DESCRIPTION This module transforms HTML into PDF, using an assortment of XML transformations implemented in PDF::FromHTML::Twig. There is also a command-line utility, html2pdf.pl, that comes with this distribution. PUBLIC METHODS convert(%params) Convert the loaded file to PDF. Valid parameters are: PageWidth 640 PageResolution 540 FontBold 'HelveticaBold' FontOblique 'HelveticaOblique' FontBoldOblique 'HelveticaBoldOblique' LineHeight 12 FontUnicode 'Helvetica' Font (same as FontUnicode) PageSize 'A4' Landscape 0 HINTS & TIPS tags Add the height and width attributes if you are creating the source HTML, it keeps PDF::FromHTML from having to open and read the source image file to get the real size. Less file I/O means faster processing. CAVEATS Although PDF::FromHTML will work with both HTML and XHTML formats, it is not designed to utilise CSS. This means any HTML using external or inline CSS for design and layout, including but not limited to: images, backgrounds, colours, fonts etc... will not be converted into the PDF. To get an idea of the likely resulting PDF, you may wish to use an non-CSS capable browser for testing first. There is currently no plan to adapt this module to utilise CSS. (Patches welcome, though!) SEE ALSO html2pdf.pl is a simple command-line interface to this module. PDF::FromHTML::Twig, PDF::Template, XML::Twig.
