pdf-generator

Package to turn Diplodoc projects into PDFs.

Installation

npm i -g @diplodoc/pdf-generator

Usage

Step 1: Generate Single Page Files

Run @diplodoc/cli command. This will create an output folder with a single page file for each Table of Contents (ToC) file.

npx -- @diplodoc/cli@latest -i ./docs -o ./docs-output --single-page

Step 2: Convert Single Page Files to PDFs

Run the @diplodoc/pdf-generator command. This will create PDF files right next to the single page ones.

npx -- @diplodoc/pdf-generator@latest -i ./docs-output

The tool also provides users with flexible customization of headers and footers in the form of HTML format files, the paths to which can be passed through the corresponding options --custom-header and --custom-footer.

By default, the header is not set, but the page numbering in the lower right corner is set in the footer, as shown in the example below.

npx -- @diplodoc/pdf-generator@latest -i ./docs-output

Also below is an example of a command with custom header (example-custom-header.html) and custom footer (example-custom-footer.html).
Even if you specify a custom footer, the numbering still remains in the lower right corner.

npx -- @diplodoc/pdf-generator@latest -i ./docs-output --custom-header ./example-custom-header.html --custom-footer ./example-custom-footer.html

Passed parameters
