Convert HTML, Markdown, and DOCX documents into continuous, single-page PDFs.

Project description

Seamless PDF

Convert HTML, Markdown, and DOCX documents into continuous, single-page PDFs -- no page breaks.

PyPI Version License CI

Python Versions


Standard PDF converters split your content across fixed-size pages. Seamless PDF renders the entire document onto a single continuous page perfectly sized to the content's width and height. Ideal for long-form reports, documentation snapshots, newsletters and any workflow where page breaks get in the way or you want to retain the original content viewing experience.


Features

Feature Description
Single-Page Output One continuous PDF sized exactly to your content
Multi-Format Input Supports .html, .md, .markdown, and .docx files
CLI & Python API Use from the terminal or integrate directly into your code
Markdown Rendering GitHub-flavored Markdown with syntax highlighting via Pygments

Installation

pip install seamless-pdf
python -m playwright install chromium
playwright install

Note: Playwright uses a headless Chromium browser under the hood to render documents. The second command downloads the browser binary. For first time installs of playwright or updates you may need download the new browsers with playwright install.


Quick Start

Command Line

seamless-pdf input.html -o output.pdf

Python API

convert("input.html", "output.pdf")

Usage

# Explicit input type override
convert("docs/notes.txt", "notes.pdf", input_type="markdown")
