About A4 PDF Generator from HTML

Need a quick, clean PDF from your HTML? This actor does exactly that. You feed it an HTML string, and it hands you back a properly formatted A4 PDF, ready to go. It's one of those utilities that saves you from fiddling with browser print dialogs or wrestling with finicky CSS for page breaks. I use it all the time for generating client reports, API documentation, and order invoices directly from my web apps. The A4 sizing is spot-on for standard documents, so everything looks professional without extra tweaking. It's straightforward—no complex setup, just a reliable conversion that works. If you're building any kind of automation that needs to output a presentable document, this is a simple piece you can plug in and forget about. It turns dynamic web content into static, shareable files in a single step, which is incredibly handy for e-commerce back-ends, internal tools, or any automated workflow where a PDF is the final deliverable.

Overview

This Apify actor takes an HTML string as input, renders it with Puppeteer, and generates a corresponding PDF file. The output is a standard A4 PDF saved to the actor's run dataset.

Key Features

  • Converts plain HTML strings to PDF format.
  • Uses a headless Chrome browser (Puppeteer) for accurate rendering.
  • Outputs PDFs in standard A4 page size.
  • Stores the generated PDF directly as the actor's run output.

Run the actor with a JSON input containing your HTML content.

Example Input (via Apify console, API, or SDK):

{
  "htmlString": "<html><body><h1>My Document</h1><p>This will be a PDF.</p></body></html>"
}

Once the run completes, download the generated output.pdf file from the actor's run dataset.
