- Content is paginated into fixed pages, so tall pages are cut across page breaks and wide layouts may be clipped.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need extra software to make a PDF?
No. Every modern browser can print a
.whtml page straight to PDF with Ctrl+P.How do I control page size and margins?
Use the browser print dialog's paper size and margin options, or wkhtmltopdf flags like
--page-size A4 and --margin-top.Why is my page cut off in the PDF?
PDF has fixed pages, so wide or fixed-width layouts can overflow. Try landscape orientation or scale-to-fit in the print dialog.
Can I convert many files at once?
Yes,
wkhtmltopdf runs from the command line and can be looped over a folder of .whtml files in a script.
