Export Web Page to PDF

An example request that uses Gaffa to convert an HTML page to a PDF. There are lots of HMTL to PDF API's but Gaffa handles it easily, as well as doing much more.

The following example is a request we've pre-built to show you Gaffa's capabilities against our demo site. You can run this request right now in the Gaffa API Playground.

Gaffa's print to PDF feature allows you to export web pages as PDF files easily. Unlike the standard "Print to PDF" in your local browser, Gaffa's feature waits for specific items to load, uses proxies, and scales with your product's growth. Enhance your customer experience and streamline your PDF export process
