DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xhtml2pdf command.

       xhtml2pdf is an HTML-to-PDF converter using the ReportLab Toolkit, HTML5lib and pyPdf.

       It supports HTML 5 and CSS 2.1 (and some of CSS 3). It is completely written in pure
       Python so it is platform independent. The main benefit of this tool that a user with Web
       skills like HTML and CSS is able to generate PDF templates very quickly without learning
       new technologies. Easy integration into Python frameworks like CherryPy, KID Templating,
       TurboGears, Django, Zope, Plone, Google AppEngine (GAE) etc.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       SRC
           Name of a HTML file or a file pattern using * placeholder. If you want to read from
           stdin use - as file name. You may also load an URL over HTTP. Take care of putting the
           src in quotes if it contains characters like ?.

       DEST
           Name of the generated PDF file or - if you like to send the result to stdout. Take
           care that the destination file is not already opened by an other application like the
           Adobe Reader. If the destination is not writeable a similar name will be calculated
           automatically.

       -b, --base
           Specify a base path if input comes via STDIN.

       -c, --css
           Path to default CSS file

       --css-dump
           Dumps the default CSS definitions to STDOUT.

       -d, --debug
           Show debugging information.

       --encoding
           The character encoding of SRC. If left empty (default) this information will be
           extracted from the HTML header data.

       -h, --help
           Show the help text.

       -q, --quiet
           Show no messages.
