Create PDF on the Fly for Generated HTML5 Output

Post by amitkapoor »

Hi,

I am trying to find a way to generate PDF of a topic and children pages under it from the generated HTML output. The goal is let customer/user generate the PDF on demand. I know libraries exist that let you do this with some programming but is there something that you have tried or know of? Because I need to do it anyway, once I am done, I will share my findings here.

Additionally, what is the easiest way to merge the topic and its children topics and create a single temporary HTML - from the generated HTML5 output?

Hi Amit,

The function you're wanting would best be implemented with separate Targets that use individual TOCs for each Topic sequence and a pre-generated a PDF that you provide as a link.
