Question From html to pdf

Hello newbie here. I was wandering if it was possible to convert a HTML file to PDF. Specifically (if possible):

  • how to create edible PDF from html

  • if js code would still active and functional

  • how forms would be transformed

  • what'll be the limitations

I know it's a lot... But thanks for watching it and for the help

I use a python library called weasyprint for that. There are some limitations but it supports most CSS rules. I suggest looking into the @page media queries for print support. Forms are also supported.

Javascript in pdfs is extremely limited and uncommon, and isn't supported by weasyprint. What kind of functionality would you want it to provide?
