You are very welcome!! Glad I can help :pray:
We all level-up together :rocket:

I just tested and it works :face_with_monocle:

Can you please tell me if I’m doing something wrong, the PDFwizard link is working but apparently it has limitations.

When you click this link, what happens?

This is what I get

Very strange, seems to work for me and other no problems…
What about the link below?

https://pdfwizard.netlify.app?PDF=HTML

This has been working for me, but it has limitations on the length of HTML Code. Any workaround. please? I am stranded.

Hey @loqode,

Is it possible to control the PDF Download Settings by default? When I download my PDF on the phone, the orientation gets off and it gets splited into 2 pages.

Also, is it possible to customize the name of the PDF? By default, the file name is HTML 2 PDF? Can I customize that through glide?

Hello The Links are down, Please Help :frowning:

I made my own static Page on github but I’m getting the error of URI too long, How to fix that?

Browser limits the length of URLs, looks like PDF you are trying to generate is too long…

I am aware the character length I have for My PDFs are ridiculously high, However the Replit link is down, it worked fine with it.

but if I use my own deployment it returns Error 414.

Have you tried other links? They work.
If your PDF is too long, then I suggest joining Document Masterclass. It is the best, most advanced option.

To address this, you’ll need to check your server configuration and find out what the maximum allowed limit is for URL length. Some hosts have different policies.

One workaround is to create a button labeled ā€œTest Printā€ containing short data, which sometimes succeeds in triggering a print for long URLs.

Hi Marco,

I’m having trouble hosting this on my own. I’ve already created a subdomain called : printpdf.mysubdomain.com and I’ve already change the public.html file with your code. But I get this weird https error. What could be the problem?
