But now one problem you may asked that “HTML to PDF is a remarkable product. - it is the only one to preserve hyperlinks in my document. BUT, I just cannot get it to force page breaks to split up the original HTML document suitable for A4 printing. It prints the entire document in miniature on just one sheet no matter how I set it up. Can you advise please? Thanks
To solve the page break problem, you can set page height and width to adjust it. The parameters "-width" and "-height" set the paper size for HTML to PDF conversion. For example: htmltools.exe -nocenter -width 612 -height 792 -emfheight 792 "https://www.verypdf.com/pdfcamp/convert-html-to-pdf.html" "C:\out.pdf" . And the unit the height is point. You can convert from inch to point easily, for example, 8.5inch = 8.5x72 = 612pt 11inch = 11x72 = 792pt. By this way, you can convert a long html file to short PDF file and keeping its original hyperlinks.
