Load the Document

The converter starts by loading the HTML or URL, then resolving linked CSS, images, web fonts, and scripts that affect the visible page.

If assets are blocked, private, slow, or loaded after user interaction, the PDF may miss them.

Render With CSS

The HTML is laid out like a browser page, but PDF output also needs print rules, fixed page dimensions, margins, and page breaks.

For styling details, read CSS in HTML to PDF.

Paginate and Export

After rendering, HTML to PDF splits the content into PDF pages and writes text, images, links, and vector shapes where supported.

The final PDF is not a live web page. It is a snapshot of the rendered document at conversion time.
