HTML to PDF Converter

Export HTML files into a readable PDF without relying on a live browser preview.

This HTML path parses document structure and renders a readable PDF with headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, code blocks, and simple tables where possible. CSS, scripts, responsive layout behavior, and exact browser rendering are intentionally not preserved.
