I have SVG images, and lot of text with inline CSS, in an HTML page. I need to export all of them into PDF. Suggest to me proper technology which caters to my need. I am using JavaScript and jQuery as front end and Python as backend.

UPDATE:

I have tried jsPDF, but it is not preserving the CSS styling and I am not able to export images also.

If you want to do it server-side, there's a python package for that:

Otherwise, you can do it in the browser but you will loose the CSS. jsPDF appears to have experimental support for converting HTML to a PDF, or you can programmatically populate a PDF document with similar content. SVG is supported via plugin.

    jsPDF doesn't seem able to handle more than basic CSS. See [this issue](https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF/issues/1384) for more detail. – freginold Aug 22 '17 at 18:41
  • jsPDF is not a great option if you want to preserve CSS. If you can do it server-side, I recommend that. I edited the post with a server-side option. – nym Aug 22 '17 at 19:17

Do you know the wkhtmltopdf command line tools? I was in a project where I also needed to convert a web page to PDF and I used this library (I used PHP as backend) and it worked very well for me.

I hope I have helped :D
