🔎 Introduction

This project is a fork of mr-pdf with the following changes:

• [x] Support to pass --puppeteerArgs to puppeteer.launch() (PR #64)

📌 Usage

npx mr-pdf --initialDocURLs="https://v1.docusaurus.io/docs/en/installation" --paginationSelector=".docs-prevnext > a.docs-next" --excludeSelectors=".fixedHeaderContainer,footer.nav-footer,#docsNav,nav.onPageNav,a.edit-page-link,div.docs-prevnext" --cssStyle=".navPusher {padding-top: 0;}" --contentSelector="article" --puppeteerArgs="--no-sandbox"

🐋 Motivation

You cant use puppeteer in docker container without --no-sandbox. But mr-pdf does not support passing puppeteerArgs to puppeteer.launch(), now you can generate the PDF files using docker.

In the project you can find a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml file to generate the PDF files using docker.

All the content below is from the original project.

⚠️ Caution!

Currently, this package is not catching up with docusaurus v2 HTML markup, so command may not find the correct HTML to loop through docs. Please modify the command to find correct HTML markup by yourself.

📌 Introduction

📄 How mr-pdf works

1. puppter can make html to PDF like you can print HTML page in chrome browser
2. so, the idea of mr-pdf is generating one big HTML through looping page link, then run page.pdf() from puppter to generate PDF.
