The problem we run into here is the poor support of the fragmentation specification in browsers; this may mean that the content of your pages breaks in unusual ways. This means that you may be unable to prevent suboptimal breaking of content, with headers being left as the last item on the page, and so on. In addition, we have no ability to control the content in the page margin boxes, e. These things are part of the Paged Media spec, but have not been implemented in any browser.
There are ways to print to PDF using browser rendering engines, without going through the print menu in the browser, and ending up with headers and footers as if you had printed the document. The most popular options in response to my tweet were wkhtmltopdf, and printing using headless Chrome and Puppeteer. A solution that was mentioned a number of times on Twitter is a commandline tool called wkhtmltopdf.
It does this by using the WebKit rendering engine. We use wkhtmltopdf. Essentially, therefore, this tool does the same thing as printing from the browser, however, you will not get the automatically added headers and footers. On this positive side, if you have a working print stylesheet for your content then it should also nicely output to PDF using this tool, and so a simple layout may well print very nicely.
Unfortunately, however, you will still run into the same problems as when printing directly from the web browser in terms of lack of support for the Paged Media specification and fragmentation properties, as you are still printing using a browser rendering engine. There are some flags that you can pass into wkhtmltopdf in order to add back some of the missing features that you would have by default using the Paged Media specification. However once again you are limited by browser support for Paged Media and fragmentation.
There are some options which can be passed into the page. As with wkhtmltopdf, these add in some of the functionality that would be possible from CSS should there be browser support. It may well be that one of these solutions will do all that you need, however, if you find that you are fighting something of a battle, it is probable that you are hitting the limits of what is possible with current browser rendering engines, and will need to look for a better solution. There are a few attempts to essentially reproduce the Paged Media specification in the browser using JavaScript — essentially creating a Paged Media Polyfill.
This could give you Paged Media support when using Puppeteer. Take a look at paged. For anything else, we use PrinceXML or the paged. Here's a WIP proof-of-concept using paged. These User Agents implement the Paged Media specification and have far better support for the CSS Fragmentation properties; this will give you greater control over the output.
