Electron-PDF is a command-line tool and Node.js library that uses Electron's Chromium renderer to generate PDF files from URLs, HTML, or Markdown sources. It supports rendering options, event hooks, in-memory buffers, and multiple export jobs.
Use cases
- generate pdf from a url
- convert html to pdf from the command line
- render markdown files as pdf
- batch export multiple pages to pdf
- generate pdf reports from web pages in node.js
- headless pdf rendering on a server
When to choose
- you need Chromium-faithful rendering of HTML/CSS to PDF
- you want a simple CLI or Node.js API for PDF export
- you need to render modern web content (JS-heavy pages) to PDF
When to avoid
- you need lightweight PDF generation without Electron/Chromium overhead
- you only need to manipulate existing PDFs rather than create them
- you cannot install a graphical stack or xvfb on your Linux server
