## What it is
A Python CLI tool that asynchronously crawls GitBook documentation sites and converts their contents into a single PDF. It preserves the original directory structure, hyperlinks, and copyable text using aiohttp for fetching and WeasyPrint for PDF generation.

## Use cases
- convert a gitbook documentation site to a single pdf
- download an online gitbook for offline reading
- export gitbook docs as pdf with working hyperlinks
- archive gitbook pages preserving directory structure
- generate a compact pdf of hundreds of gitbook pages
- scrape gitbook content quickly with async requests

## When to choose
- you need an offline PDF copy of a public GitBook site
- you want to preserve links, text selection, and chapter structure in the export
- you prefer a fast asynchronous scraper over browser-based rendering

## When to avoid
- the GitBook relies on heavy JavaScript rendering that WeasyPrint cannot reproduce
- you cannot install WeasyPrint's system dependencies or lack memory for large PDF generation
- you need a maintained tool with active support or a license

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-scraping, pdf, cli
- domain: pdf, documentation, developer-tools
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: gitbook, pdf-generation, async-scraping, weasyprint, documentation-export, command-line
