Simpdf enables users to bring web pages available for offline viewing. Simply downloading the HTML and viewing them offline can mess up the appearance since there are javascripts, css, and many more back-end technologies running, which are unavailable offline. Simpdf eliminates all the hassle by converting those assets in a PDF.
The resultant PDF will look like a replica of the original web page. This means that all the content will display at the right place like on the web page. Hyperlinks will work nicely and the images will display without any formatting issues. Fonts, text color, and tables will remain intact.
When downloading an HTML web page, all the css, javascripts, images, etc. get downloaded in a folder. If this asset folder and HTML file are in different directories, the HTML won’t display properly. Simpdf eliminates this issue by combining all the content in one document, discarding the need for storing the asset folder separately.
It’s possible that the downloaded HTML may face cross-platform incompatibility. In order to overcome this issue, Simpdf will convert the HTML to PDF online in such a way that the resultant PDF becomes compatible for cross-platform use. This PDF will render perfectly across operating systems and devices like PC and smartphones.
Downloaded HTML web pages are very bulky and sharing them is very risky. Simpdf is a smart tool that translates HTML to PDF. The size of the resultant PDF will be much smaller than the original HTML file along with the assets. Therefore, Simpdf is known to make the web pages lightweight without compromising on the originality.
Converting HTML into a portable format is very difficult and requires advanced IT and programming skills. Simpdf saves users from all the hassle by offering a user-friendly user interface that is very easy to use. The process is automatic and demands minimum inputs from the users, becoming ideal for all types of users.
Here’s how to save HTML as PDF using Simpdf:
Yes, it’s legible and worth it to convert HTML to PDF free using Simpdf because the downloaded HTML isn’t a standalone file. It depends on various assets and scripts, which are downloaded alongside HTML files. Converting them into PDF reduces the complexity and makes the web page standalone without hindering the original appearance and performance of the web page.
Simpdf reads the content position in pixels. It starts reading the content from top-left, which is (0,0) pixels. It moves in a linear fashion towards the right and reads all the content. It keeps placing the read content on the PDF as it proceeds, making sure that the resultant PDF is an exact replica of the original HTML file.
Yes, it’s mandatory to upload the css and other assets including scripts to the Simpdf server, as it helps Simpdf make an exact replica of the HTML. In absence of these assets, the user will only see plain text with a possibility of font mismatch and missing font colors.
Yes, Simpdf will handle the bulkiest HTMLs with ease. The processing time to convert bulky files into PDF shouldn’t be much long either.
Yes, Simpdf will accept .zip files containing all the assets related to the HTML web page.
Ideally, PDFs are not designed to support animations, which is why users will notice no css animations in the resultant file. However, css fonts and other properties should work flawlessly.
Any IT professional, lecturer, student, business person, or general audience of the website shall use Simpdf to store the content in a more manageable file format. It’ll make the web page more portable for later use in their office, college, or for study in case there’s no internet connectivity at the premises.
