Short answer

How can I turn HTML code into a PDF using my AI?

You give your agent a string of HTML code, and it uses the generate_pdf tool to render that code into a finished PDF file. This handles the layout and formatting so you get a printable document. You'll see the specific steps and prompts below.

The results

What you get

The agent handles the conversion from code to document.

OUTPUT

Printable PDF files

The agent uses the generate_pdf tool to create a standard PDF. You get a file that's ready to print or email immediately.

LAYOUT

Formatted documents

The agent interprets your HTML and CSS to build the visual layout. This ensures the final document looks like your code intended.

SPEED

Instant conversion

Instead of using a web converter, you just send the code to your agent. It processes the string and returns the file in one go.

HUMAN

Visual verification

The agent produces the file based on your code. You'll need to open the PDF to make sure the styling looks exactly how you want it.

The workflow

What your AI does when the HTML arrives.

The agent moves from raw text to a finished file through a single tool call.

  1. Receive code

    Your agent takes the HTML string you provide in the chat and prepares it for the conversion tool.

    generate_pdf

  2. Render PDF

    The agent executes the conversion by passing your code through the rendering engine.

    generate_pdf

  3. Finalize file

    The agent completes the document generation and prepares the file for delivery.

    generate_pdf

  4. Deliver output

    The agent provides the finished PDF link or file directly in your chat window.
