It’s designed to transform web content into a portable and universally accessible **PDF** format with ease. This feature allows for the conversion of **HTML** code, **HTML** templates, or entire web pages (URLs) into **PDF** format. It's designed to transform web content into a portable and universally accessible **PDF** format with ease. Make Step ## Input The Make module doesn't expose every PDF.co API parameter as a field. To pass a parameter that isn't shown, put it under `std_params` in the **Profiles** field. Enable **Advanced Settings** to see it (see [Profiles](#profiles) below). For example, to add a repeating header and footer to every page: ```json theme={null} { "std_params": { "header": "
My Header
", "footer": "
My Footer
" } } ``` This works for any standard parameter listed in the [API Reference](/api/pdf-from-html/convert). See [Standard Parameters](/api/profiles#standard-parameters) for details. | Name | Description | Required | | - | - | - | | **Convert Options** | Choose from `HTML to PDF`, `HTML Template to PDF`, or `URL to PDF`. | Yes | *** **HTML to PDF** | Name | Description | Required | | - | - | - | | **Input HTML Code** | Provide the raw HTML code for conversion. | Yes | **HTML Template to PDF** | Name | Description | Required | | - | - | - | | **HTML Template ID** | Enter the ID from [HTML to PDF Templates](https://app.pdf.co/templates/html). | No | | **Input data in CSV or JSON format** | Supply data in `CSV` or `JSON` format for the selected HTML template. Examples: CSV: `invoice_id, totalrn12345,$999` JSON: `{"invoice_id":"12345","total":"$999"}`. Test your [HTML to PDF Templates](https://app.pdf.co/templates/html). | Yes | **URL to PDF** | Name | Description | Required | | - | - | - | | **Input URL to web page** | Enter the URL of the web page for conversion. Example: `https://google.com`. | Yes | | Name | Description | Required | | - | - | - | | **Output File Name** | Specify a custom file name for the output file. | No | | **Orientation** | Select the **PDF** orientation: `Portrait` or `Landscape`. | No | | **Paper Size** | Choose the paper size, such as `Legal`, `Letter`, `A0`, `A1`, `A2`, `A3`, `A4`, `A5`, etc. | No | | **Render Page Background** | Specify if the page background should be rendered in the **PDF**. | No | | **Do not wait for full load** | Select if the conversion should proceed without waiting for the full page load. | No | | **Margins** | Set custom margins, overriding CSS margin styles for the converted page. | No | | **Execution Mode** | Select **Sync** for small tasks up to `10` seconds. Choose **Async** for standard jobs, or **Async For Large Docs** for tasks over `30` seconds. Use **Job Check** module for retrieving results in large tasks. | No | | **Profiles** | Add custom options for the process in a `JSON` string format. See [API Profiles](#profiles) for more details. | No | | **Output Links Expiration** | Set the expiration time in minutes for output links. Default is `60` minutes. Increase this limit with a `Business Plan` or higher, see [plans here](https://app.pdf.co/subscriptions) for details. | No | | **Export Type** | Choose between `Download a File` or `JSON Output`. Default is `Download a File`. | No | ## Output | Name | Description | | - | - | | `url` | This is the temporary **URL** provided by the **PDF.co** file server. | | `Data` | Represents the output binary data. This data is generated only when the `Export Type` option is set to `Download a File`. | | `Status` | Indicates the [response status](/api/introduction) code. A `success` status is returned if the operation is successful. | | `Page Count` | The total number of pages in the output **PDF**. | | `outputLinkValidTill` | Specifies the timestamp until which the `url` remains accessible. | | `error` | Provides details about any errors encountered during the process, if applicable. | | `name` | The designated name of the output file. | | `Job Id` | A unique identifier assigned to the job. | | `credits` | The amount of credits utilized for the process. | | `Remaining Credits` | Displays the balance of credits available in your account. | | `duration` | The duration of time the process took to complete. | ### Profiles To display the Profiles fields, you must **enable Advanced Settings** by clicking the toggle: Advanced Settings You can set additional options for the operation used in the [PDF.co](http://pdf.co/) module by using **Profiles**. A profile is a string in JSON-like format containing predefined parameters. ### Here’s an example of a Custom Profiles input: ```json theme={null} { "outputDataFormat": "base64" } ``` With this input, the [PDF.co](http://pdf.co/) module will return the output in base64 format. You can find the list of available parameters for customizing profiles in the [PDF.co](http://pdf.co/) operation documentation below: You can use any regular API parameter from the [API Reference](/api) within Make using the `std_params` feature in profiles. The `std_params` enables the definition of regular API parameters in a JSON format, See [Standard Parameters](/api/profiles#standard-parameters) for detailed documentation and examples. | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | - | - | - | - | | `outputDataFormat` | string | - | If you require your output as base64 format, set this to base64 | | `HTMLCodeHeadInject` | string | - | Injects CSS into the HTML `` section to prevent page breaks within specified elements. See HTML to PDF Knowledge Base for more information. | | `DataEncryptionAlgorithm` | string | - | Controls the encryption algorithm used for data encryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. The available algorithms are: AES128, AES192, AES256. | | `DataEncryptionKey` | string | - | Controls the encryption key used for data encryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. | | `DataEncryptionIV` | string | - | Controls the encryption IV used for data encryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. | | `DataDecryptionAlgorithm` | string | - | Controls the decryption algorithm used for data decryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. The available algorithms are: AES128, AES192, AES256. | | `DataDecryptionKey` | string | - | Controls the decryption key used for data decryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. | | `DataDecryptionIV` | string | - | Controls the decryption IV used for data decryption.
