How to use / insert PDFmyURL in your own site

Just link the text or image people will use for downloading a specific page/url:


http://pdfmyurl.com?url=www.opentracker.net

for example:

<a href="http://pdfmyurl.com?url=www.opentracker.net">download this page as pdf</a>

will create a text link that looks like this:
download this page as pdf


How to use on your server

Synopsis (the first -O <filename> is wget's own output file option):
wget -O opentracker.pdf "pdfmyurl.com?url=www.opentracker.net&-O=Landscape&--header-left=hello"


General Options:

You can mix-and-match the underneath options to customize the pdf to your needs.


For example, if you want a landscaped pdf you add -O=Landscape or --orientation=Landscape and if you want to add a header with text aligned to the left you would use --header-left=hiYou can also alter the default filename by providing the --filename=ot.pdf option.


These three options combined in one text link would look like this:

<a href="http://pdfmyurl.com?url=opentracker.net&-O=Landscape&--header-left=hi&--filename=ot.pdf">pdf</a>

Notice that in the above example the ampersand "&" sign separates each option, and the separating character for a parameter is an equals "=" sign. You will need to url escape any reserved url characters for option values.
