it is simple to convert your web-page into pdf format.

you can use mPDf or you can use phantomjs

I've use both in may project, work perfect. using phantomjs you can convert your web-page in many formats.

Answer 3

There are many ways to do this. You can do this on the server side or you can use html5 or a jquery plugin to do this on the client side.

If you're doing it on the server side use a php library such as dompdf or tcpdf and create the file on the server and make it downloadable using proper headers.

If you're doing it on the client browser use a js plugin like jspdf. There are pros and cons on both methods.
