# PDF from HTML

> Convert `HTML` into `PDF`.

## `POST /v1/pdf/convert/from/html`

<Note>
  This API converts a RAW HTML code into a PDF document and process any JavaScript which the webpage triggers when it loads. For example if the the webpage triggers a JavaScript popup window then that will be included in the conversion process. There is no option to disable JavaScript on the supplied RAW HTML code.

## Attributes

<Note>Attributes are case-sensitive and should be inside JSON for POST request. for example: `{ "url": "https://example.com/file1.pdf" }`</Note>

<Note>Remember to ensure that request sizes are less than `4` mb in file size. For more information, see [Request Size Limits](/api-reference/url-input-and-request-limits#pdf-co-request-size).</Note>

## Header & Footer

The `header` and `footer` parameters can contain valid HTML markup with the 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

img: tag is supported in both the header and footer parameter, provided that the `src` attribute is specified as a `base64-encoded` string.

For example, the following markup will generate `Page N of NN` page numbering:

```html theme={null}
<span style='font-size:10px'>Page <span class='pageNumber'></span> of <span class='totalPages'></span>.</span>
```

### Sample Header & Footer

An example with an advanced `header` and `footer`. Note that the top and bottom page margins are important because page content may overlap the footer or header.

```json theme={null}
{
    "html": "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta charSet=\"utf-8\"/><style type=\"text/css\">body { font-family: \"Arial\" }</style></head><body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>",
    "async": false,
    "name": "result.pdf",
    "margins": "40px 5px 40px 5px",
    "paperSize": "Letter",
    "orientation": "Portrait",
    "printBackground": true,
    "header": "<div style='width:100%'><span style='font-size:10px;margin-left:20px;width:50%;float:left'>LEFT SUBHEADER</span><span style='font-size:8px;width:30%;float:right'>RIGHT SUBHEADER</span></div>",
    "footer": "<div style='width:100%;text-align:right'><span style='font-size:10px;margin-right:20px'>Page <span class='pageNumber'></span> of <span class='totalPages'></span>.</span></div>"
}
```

<Note>If you use `JSON` as input then make sure to escape it first (with `JSON.stringify(dataObject)` in JS). Escaping is when every `"` is replaced with `\"`. Example with `"` be escaped as `\"` then: `"templateData": "{ \"paid\": true, \"invoice_id\": \"0002\", \"total\": \"$999.99\" }"`.</Note>

## `Example` Response

<Note>To see the main response codes, please refer to the [Response Codes](/api-reference/response-codes) page.</Note>

```json theme={null}

  "name": "result.pdf",
  "remainingCredits": 60646
}
```

<Note>
  **Inconsistent URL Encoding in cURL Output:** When using cURL to make API requests, the output JSON may show URL characters encoded as Unicode escape sequences. For example, the ampersand character (`&`) may appear as `\u0026` in the cURL output. This is normal JSON encoding behavior and does not affect the validity of the URL. The URL will function correctly when used, as JSON parsers automatically decode these escape sequences. If you're parsing the response programmatically, your JSON parser will handle this conversion automatically.
