Python Selenium: Print Page to PDF - Examples

Example 1: Print Page to PDF Using Chrome Options

from selenium import webdriver

# Create a ChromeOptions instance
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

# Set the 'print-to-pdf' flag in the ChromeOptions
chrome_options.add_argument('--kiosk-printing')

# Create a Chrome driver with the configured ChromeOptions
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

# Navigate to a webpage
driver.get('https://example.com')

# Print the page to PDF
driver.execute_cdp_cmd('Page.printToPDF', {'landscape': True, 'printBackground': True})

# Save the PDF to a file
with open('output.pdf', 'wb') as file:
    file.write(driver.execute_cdp_cmd('Page.printToPDF', {'landscape': True, 'printBackground': True})['data'])

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

Output:

# The webpage is printed to a PDF file named 'output.pdf'

Example 2: Print Page to PDF with Custom Page Size

from selenium import webdriver

# Create a ChromeOptions instance
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

# Set the 'print-to-pdf' flag in the ChromeOptions
chrome_options.add_argument('--kiosk-printing')

# Create a Chrome driver with the configured ChromeOptions
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

# Navigate to a webpage
driver.get('https://example.com')

# Set custom page size (width x height) in millimeters
page_size = {'width': 210, 'height': 297}

# Print the page to PDF with custom page size
pdf_options = {'paperWidth': page_size['width'], 'paperHeight': page_size['height'], 'printBackground': True}
pdf_content = driver.execute_cdp_cmd('Page.printToPDF', pdf_options)['data']

# Save the PDF to a file
with open('output_custom_size.pdf', 'wb') as file:
    file.write(pdf_content)

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

Output:

# The webpage is printed to a PDF file with custom page size named 'output_custom_size.pdf'
