How to Convert HTML to PDF

HTML file or Hypertext Markup Language file is the basis of web pages. A website usually contains multiple HTML files that link to each other. HTML files can be accessed using web browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc. Saving a web page on the local machine for offline use can result in loss of format or even data. PDF files preserve the style, content and format of the documents for offline reading and printing.
