detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your document processes by automatically converting HTML to PDF and optimizing file sizes. This workflow empowers you to create and manage PDFs efficiently.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the creation and optimization of PDF documents. It begins with converting HTML content into a PDF format, allowing for dynamic content generation. Subsequently, it offers the capability to compress these generated PDFs, significantly reducing file sizes without compromising quality. The workflow also supports fetching existing PDFs from URLs and applying the same compression techniques. This robust solution is ideal for scenarios requiring batch PDF generation, content archival, or efficient sharing of large documents.
Key Features
- Convert HTML to PDF: Dynamically generate PDFs from any HTML input.
- Compress PDFs: Reduce file sizes of generated or existing PDFs.
- Fetch PDFs from URL: Integrate external PDF documents into your workflow.
- Workflow Automation: Seamlessly chain PDF generation and compression steps.
How To Use
- Trigger Workflow: Initiate the workflow manually using the 'When clicking ‘Test workflow’’ node.
- HTML to PDF Conversion: Configure the 'HTML to PDF' node with your desired HTML content.
- PDF from URL: Use the 'Set PDF URL' node to specify the URL of an existing PDF.
- PDF Compression: Connect either the 'HTML to PDF' or 'Set PDF URL' node to a 'Compress PDF file' node to optimize the PDF's file size. You can have multiple compression steps for different optimization levels or target files.
