html2pdf4doc_python
html2pdf4doc_python is the Python wrapper/CLI for the html2pdf4doc JavaScript library that prints HTML pages into PDFs using Chrome/Chromedriver.
This repository focuses strictly on the Python-side automation layer. The rendering logic remains in the JS core.
Installation
-
Install Google Chrome (or Chrome for Testing) on the machine that will run the CLI.
-
Install the package from PyPI:
pip install html2pdf4doc
Python 3.8+ is required.
See also: the Ubuntu-based container Dockerfile and the GitHub CI files found
in the .github/workflows folder.
Usage
Download or reuse ChromeDriver with SSL verification enabled by default:
python -m html2pdf4doc.main get_driver
python -m html2pdf4doc.main print input.html output.pdf
Disable SSL (corporate environments)
Disable SSL certificate verification only when needed, for example in a restricted corporate environment with custom TLS interception:
python -m html2pdf4doc.main get_driver --disable-ssl-check
python -m html2pdf4doc.main print --disable-ssl-check input.html output.pdf
Developer guide
Getting started
1. (Optional) Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
2. Install the dependencies
git clone https://github.com/strictdoc-project/html2pdf4doc_python.git
cd html2pdf4doc_python
# Bootstrap minimal Python dependencies: Invoke and TOML.
pip install invoke toml
# Install all Python dependencies and update the submodule with the html2pdf4doc.js.
invoke bootstrap
3. The JS library is maintained in a Git submodule submodules/html2pdf.
When the submodule is updated after a release or during the development, rebuild
the JS library, i.e., regenerate the html2pdf4doc.min.js:
invoke build
4. To validate changes, use the following commands:
