How to convert a really big HTML file to PDF in Windows [closed]

Solution 1:

Have you tried wkhtmltopdf? Its a command line utility that is super easy to use wkhtmltopdf:

Install wkhtmltopdf
Go to Start -> Run -> cmd

cd %Program Files%\wkhtmltopdf                     [press enter]
wkhtmltopdf.exe http://www.google.com google.pdf   [press enter]

viola. google.com saved to google.pdf.

If I remember correctly it does fairly well with its PDF compression

Solution 2:

The only way I could solve this problem was to convert pieces of HTML to PDF, then merge them in Adobe Acrobat 9.

Thanks for your suggestions. Really interesting learning about all these neat tools that are out there.

Solution 3:

I wonder if you could use Winnovative's HTML to PDF converter?

Solution 4:

You could try FoxIt's PDF creator. It's only $30 and they have a trial so you can see if it will do the job. Their reader is way better than Adobe's in my opinion so I would imagine that their writer is based on the same engine.

Other free options that you could try are pdfcreator or pdfill.

Solution 5:

Depending on the use case and if you could even display the HTML code in a viewer, you might think about PrimoPDF. "Print-to-PDF" technologies might not necessarily be ideal but could lessen the size burden.
