PDFize

CLI tool to convert HTML files to PDF.

Usage

npx pdfize -s index.html -o my-file.pdf

Disable PDF shrinking (enabled by default):

npx pdfize -s index.html -o my-file.pdf --shrink=false

Exclude Parts From PDF

You can remove specific sections from the generated PDF without editing the source file.

1. Use built-in conventions in your HTML:

• .no-pdf
• [data-pdf-exclude="true"]

2. Or pass custom CSS selectors with --exclude (repeatable):

npx pdfize -s index.html -o my-file.pdf \
	--exclude ".sidebar" \
	--exclude "#debug-panel"

3. Disable built-in exclusions when needed:

npx pdfize -s index.html -o my-file.pdf --disableDefaultExclusions

About

PDF files are generated using Headless Chrome through Puppeteer, then shrunk using Alfred Klomp's shrinkpdf script.
