grunt-html-pdf

Grunt wrapper for the Node package html-pdf. Credit to marcbachmann for doing all the heavy lifting.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-html-pdf --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-html-pdf');

The "html_pdf" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named html_pdf to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  html_pdf: {
    dist: {
      options: {
        // Task-specific options go here.
      },
      files: {
        // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
      },
    }
  },
});

Options

options.separator

Type: String Default value: '\n'

If multiple input files are supplied in one file declaration, they will be concatenated with this separator.

For example:

files: {
  'examples/example.pdf': ['examples/example.html', 'examples/second_source.html',],
}

Will concatenate example.html and second_source.html before converting the concatenated file to a PDF.

For a full list of options see html-pdf settings
