export as PDF file

[kevinkovadia]

this is very useful to create a demo website for the client. Is it possible to export the saved webpage as a PDF file? I can see that this has an ability to replace google docs or any other online word processor.

I think that should be possible. Browsers have built-in features to print as PDF but we can explore an export button.

We'll need to tweak styles so that it renders correctly. It's usually almost impossible to do right.

I think what most apps end up doing is rendering the HTML in the background and screenshotting it. E.g., https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-to-pdf.

PDF export is something that I'm working on as well, there are some possible options, the best option I can find is to send the HTML (and styles) to a serverless function running something like wkhtmltopdf, for a frontend solution, you'd redirect the user to a page showing only the content (so /read) and trigger the print event.
