Frequently Asked Questions
Which HTML elements are supported?
The converter supports headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold/italic/underline text, ordered and unordered lists, tables with headers, code blocks and inline code, blockquotes, links, images (base64 or accessible URLs), and horizontal rules.
Can I use custom CSS styles?
The converter applies a clean, print-optimized stylesheet automatically. Inline styles on HTML elements are partially supported. For best results, use standard semantic HTML and let the converter handle the styling.
What page size options are available?
A4, Letter, and Legal page sizes in both portrait and landscape orientation. You can also adjust margins (10-25mm) and base font size (9-14pt).
Are external images included in the PDF?
Images referenced by URL are included if they are accessible from your browser (same-origin or CORS-enabled). For guaranteed inclusion, use base64-encoded images directly in the HTML.
Troubleshooting & Technical Tips
Common errors developers encounter and how to resolve them.
External images missing from the output PDF
Remote images require CORS headers to be readable by the canvas renderer. Use base64-encoded data: URIs for guaranteed inclusion, or serve images from a CORS-enabled endpoint (same-origin or with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *).
Custom CSS from <link> tags not applied
Only inline styles and the built-in print stylesheet are respected. External stylesheets loaded via <link rel="stylesheet"> are ignored. Inline your critical styles using the style attribute or a <style> block inside the HTML input.
Table columns overflow the page width
Switch page orientation to landscape, reduce base font size, or break wide tables into multiple narrower ones. Unlike browsers, PDF pages have a fixed width — content cannot scroll horizontally, so long tables will be clipped.
Web fonts (Google Fonts, @font-face) not rendering
jsPDF only embeds the standard PDF base fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier). Web fonts are not bundled into the output. Use a similar built-in font, or rasterize the HTML with a tool that supports font embedding before conversion.
