Convert a webpage into a PDF
In this tutorial, I will cover two things :

Before starting, open your command prompt for Windows or Terminal for macOS/ Linux. Run the following command.

How to convert an HTML code into PDF
I have imported two dependencies into my code: os and pyhtml2pdf. I’ve specifically imported the converter module for my usage. Now I need to get the URL of the webpage that I want to convert. However, I want to convert an HTML code. At first, I took the absolute path for my HTML file, sample.html using the os.path.abspath() function. Now I use the convert function of the converter module which takes the URL of the webpage and pdf file’s name as arguments.
Code :
import os
from pyhtml2pdf import converter
path = os.path.abspath('sample.html')
converter.convert(f'file:///{path}', 'sample1.pdf')Here, I have formatted the URL for my webpage and provided the pdf file’s name as sample1.pdf.
Input :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<Html>

<title>CodeSpeedy

I’ve imported pyhtml2pdf’s converter module. As mentioned before convert function of the converter module takes two parameters as input. First is the URL of the webpage and the other is the name of the PDF file.
Code :
from pyhtml2pdf import converter
converter.convert('https://pypi.org', 'sample.pdf')Now you can convert any webpage to a PDF file.
