I need help one more time. I am trying to print a page to pdf using headless feature of the chrome. However, header and footer is present in the pdf. I found that this option as been implemented in Devtools.
https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Page/#method-printToPDF
However, i can't find how can i use these options in CLI. Also is it possible to invoke the Devtools from selenium?
Additionally how can i invoke Page.PrintToPDF in Dev tools. I tried to run the command in Console. It is showing Page is undefined.
Add this CSS to the page your creating into a PDF to remove Chrome Headless's implemented Header and Footer.
CSS:
@media print {
@page { margin: 0; }
body { margin: 1.6cm; }
}
You should format your command like below to create the PDF:
"C:\PATH\TO\CHROME\EXECUTABLE\FILE", "--headless","--disable-gpu","--print-to-pdf=" + directory path to where you want the file to go followed by the desired file name/fileName.pdf,"--no-margins", "the path to the file you want turned into a pdf"
Example 1:
C:\chrome-win/chrome --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf=C:\user\fileName.pdf --no-margins C:\Projects\index.html
Example 2:
You can also test this functionality by navigating in your command line to the folder containing Chrome executable file, and running this command:
chrome --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf https://www.chromestatus.com/
