CKEditor 4 Export to PDF Plugin

The Export to PDF CKEditor 4 plugin allows you to easily print the WYSIWYG editor content to a PDF file. When enabled, this feature sends the content of your editor together with the styles that are used to display it to the CKEditor Cloud Services HTML to PDF converter service. The service then generates a PDF document that can be downloaded by the user.

Thanks to this plugin, it takes exactly one button click to get a PDF file with content formatted in the same way as the one visible in CKEditor 4.

CKEditor 4 Export to PDF also allows various customizations like changing the page size and margin, setting additional styling, adding custom headers and footers and pre-processing content. This gives great flexibility and control over the PDF output and allows to keep all the PDF documents consistent when it comes to styling.

This is a premium feature. Please contact us if you would like to purchase a license. Let us know if you have any feedback or questions! You can also sign up for the CKEditor Premium Features 30-day Free Trial.

If this feature is used without authorization, the resulting documents will be watermarked.
