Arguments​

pdf.displayHeaderFooter ● Boolean scalar​

Display header and footer. Defaults to false

pdf.format ● PDFPageFormat enum​

The page format to use for the PDF

pdf.footerTemplate ● String scalar​

HTML template for the print footer. Should use the same format as the headerTemplate.

pdf.generateDocumentOutline ● Boolean scalar​

Whether or not to embed the document outline into the PDF

pdf.generateTaggedPDF ● Boolean scalar​

Whether or not to generate tagged (accessible) PDF. Defaults to embedded choice

pdf.landscape ● Boolean scalar​

Paper orientation. Defaults to false

pdf.printBackground ● Boolean scalar​

Print background graphics. Defaults to false

pdf.scale ● Float scalar​

Scale of the webpage rendering. Defaults to 1

pdf.width ● FloatOrString scalar​

Width in inches or CSS unit. Defaults to 8.5 inches

pdf.headerTemplate ● String scalar​

HTML template for the print header. Should be valid HTML markup with following classes used to inject printing values into them:

  • date: formatted print date
  • title: document title
  • url: document location
  • pageNumber: current page number
  • totalPages: total pages in the document

For example, <span class=title></span> would generate span containing the title

pdf.height ● FloatOrString scalar​

Height in inches or CSS unit. Defaults to 11 inches

pdf.marginBottom ● FloatOrString scalar​

Bottom margin in inches or CSS unit. Defaults to 1cm (~0.4 inches).

pdf.marginLeft ● FloatOrString scalar​

Left margin in inches or CSS unit. Defaults to 1cm (~0.4 inches).

pdf.marginRight ● FloatOrString scalar​

Right margin in inches or CSS unit. Defaults to 1cm (~0.4 inches).

pdf.pageRanges ● String scalar​

Paper ranges to print, one based, e.g., '1-5, 8, 11-13'. Pages are printed in the document order, not in the order specified, and no more than once. Defaults to empty string, which implies the entire document is printed. The page numbers are quietly capped to actual page count of the document, and ranges beyond the end of the document are ignored. If this results in no pages to print, an error is reported. It is an error to specify a range with start greater than end

pdf.preferCSSPageSize ● Boolean scalar​

Whether or not to prefer page size as defined by css. Defaults to false, in which case the content will be scaled to fit the paper size

pdf.transferMode ● String scalar​
