Put a 'Save as PDF' link on your website

With a business license you can put a link on your website that lets visitors save your web pages as PDF with a single click. It literally takes
only two minutes for you to implement and offers great flexibility and power! All you need to do is put the following link on your web pages.

<a href="https://pdfmyurl.com/saveaspdf?url=YOUR_URL_HERE">Save this page as PDF</a>

By changing the url parameter (where it says YOUR_URL_HERE above) you can let your visitors download specific pages of your website
easily. Here's an example of how it would work if we would to have the page https://pdfmyurl.com/faq downloaded as PDF.

<a href="https://pdfmyurl.com/saveaspdf?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsiteproxy.ruqli.workers.dev%3A443%2Fhttps%2Fpdfmyurl.com%2Ffaq">Download the FAQ page as PDF</

Note that you need to URL encode the url parameter so that the URL arrives properly on our end. You can easily do this with a little
JavaScript for the current page like this for example:

<a href="javascript:location.href='https://pdfmyurl.com/saveaspdf?url='+escape(location.href)">Download this

You can easily control the layout of the PDF by setting defaults in our members area. You can also control the layout of the PDF by adding
parameters to the URL from the following table as well as all parameters that are used in our API.

Important usage instructions

If you acquired a business license and you want to use this functionality, then you need to be aware of the following things:

1. If you want to use this on web pages that are not accessible from the internet or in secure members area, then please use our API
instead. We've setup a great JavaScript example that let's you get started in a few minutes.
2. When your visitors click a save as PDF link, the url parameter must have a valid - url encoded - URL. This helps us determine your
page and match it the domains in your members area settings.
3. After you acquire the business license, you need to set the domain(s) of your website(s) in our members area. This allows us to tie
your subscription to the web pages that are being converted.
