NAME

       PDF::FromHTML - Convert HTML documents to PDF

SYNOPSIS

           my $pdf = PDF::FromHTML->new( encoding => 'utf-8' );

           # Loading from a file:
           $pdf->load_file('source.html');

           # Or from a scalar reference:
           # $pdf->load_file(\$input);

           # Perform the actual conversion:
           $pdf->convert(
               # With PDF::API2, font names such as 'traditional' also works
               Font        => 'font.ttf',
               LineHeight  => 10,
               Landscape   => 1,
           );

           # Write to a file:
           $pdf->write_file('target.pdf');

           # Or to a scalar reference:
           # $pdf->write_file(\$output);

DESCRIPTION

       This module transforms HTML into PDF, using an assortment of XML transformations
       implemented in PDF::FromHTML::Twig.

       There is also a command-line utility, html2pdf.pl, that comes with this distribution.

PUBLIC METHODS

   convert(%params)
       Convert the loaded file to PDF.  Valid parameters are:

           PageWidth         640
           PageResolution    540
           FontBold          'HelveticaBold'
           FontOblique       'HelveticaOblique'

           Landscape         0

HINTS & TIPS

   <img> tags
       Add the height and width attributes if you are creating the source HTML, it keeps
       PDF::FromHTML from having to open and read the source image file to get the real size.
       Less file I/O means faster processing.

CAVEATS

       Although PDF::FromHTML will work with both HTML and XHTML formats, it is not designed to
       utilise CSS.

       This means any HTML using external or inline CSS for design and layout, including but not
       limited to: images, backgrounds, colours, fonts etc... will not be converted into the PDF.

       To get an idea of the likely resulting PDF, you may wish to use an non-CSS capable browser
       for testing first.

       There is currently no plan to adapt this module to utilise CSS.  (Patches welcome,
       though!)
