How to convert a HTML file to PDF (with colors)

rated 0 times [ 41] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 150035 / 2 Years ago, thu, june 9, 2022, 3:18:16

I have a HTML file that is using a style.css and has colors, ex.:

<font style="background-color: red; color: white;"> FOO </font>

How can I "export" this local file on my Ubuntu 12.04 to a PDF? (the look and color should stay the same). I tried ex.: Ctrl+P -> print to PDF, but it didn't preserve the colours. I tried htmldoc with the --color option.. but it's the same problem..

It would be great to do this via the command line.

Open your html file in LibreOffice Writer and then, under File in the menu, choose export to PDF. That's it.

If you prefer the command line, take a look at Convert HTML Page To a PDF Using Open Source Tool - Linux / OS X / Windows.

The software can be installed using sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf.
