Why convert HTML to PDF?

Converting HTML to PDF preserves the visual layout in a fixed format suitable for reliable printing, sharing, and archiving across platforms.

Can interactive HTML content be preserved in the PDF?

Some interactive or dynamic content driven by JavaScript may not function in the PDF, as it produces a fixed-layout document.
