Export my SharePoint aspx page to a PDF file

Question

I am working on an enterprise wiki site collection , and using the SharePoint designer I have manually added a link named “Print to PDF” as follow:-

But I am trying to implement the link functionalities, so when the user clink on the link, the page content (mainly any html components that are inside the rich text ) should be displayed inside a pdf file?

Can anyone advice how I can achieve this ,, can I write a javaScript code which can do the work ? Thanks

You can develop an ASPX page (actually preferably an ASHX handler) that does the work for you by accepting an URL to convert, which you then pass into a third party HTML to PDF library. The generated PDF file can then be returned to the user's browser.

Alternatively, have a look at this blog post ( that I wrote, so big fat disclaimer about me being biased ) that shows how you can buy a product off the shelf that does all the work for you.

You can read more about it here .
