# PDF & Screenshot 

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/smartbrowz/pdf-and-screenshot/pdf-from-htmlcode/) now.

Catalyst SmartBrowz offers you the [PDF & Screenshot](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/smartbrowz/help/pdfnscreenshot/introduction/) component to generate your prefered visual docuemnts through code. You can incorporate this functionality in your application by copying the code below and pasting it in your application logic.

Using the SDK below, you can generate visual documents by using HTML, URL or [Templates](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/smartbrowz/help/templates/create-templates/) as your input.

### Generate Visual Documents Using Template

```javascript
const smartbrowz = app.smartbrowz();
let result = await smartbrowz.generateFromTemplate("2075000000021001",
{
  "pdf_options": {
    'display_header_footer': true,
    'format': 'A1',
    'height': '100',
    'width': '100',
    'landscape': true,
    'page_ranges': '1-2',
    'scale': 1.0,
    'password': '****123' // Add password after enabling the template password setting from the console
  },
  "page_options": {
    'css': {'content': 'body { font-size: 12px; }'},
    'javascript_enabled': true,
    'viewport': {
      'height': 800,
      'width': 600
    },
    'device': 'Blackberry PlayBook'
  },
  'navigation_options': {
    'timeout': 30000, 
    'wait_until': 'domcontentloaded' 
  "output_options": {
    "output_type": "pdf"
  },
  "template_data": {}
});
console.log('result::', result);
```

### Generate PDF From HTML

```javascript
const smartbrowz = app.smartbrowz();
let result = await smartbrowz.convertToPdf("<html>HI</html>", 
{
	"pdf_options": {
		'display_header_footer': true,
		'footer_template': '<div style="font-size: 10px; width: 100%; text-align: center; padding: 5px;">Page <span class="pageNumber',
		'format': 'A1',
		'header_template': '<div style="font-size: 10px; width: 100%; text-align: center; padding: 5px;">Header</div>',
		'margin': {
			'bottom': '20',
			'left': '10',
			'right': '10',
			'top': '20'
		},
		'height': '100',
		'width': '100',
		'landscape': true,
		'page_ranges': '1-2',
		'scale': 1.0,
		'password': 'Siva123'
	},
	
	"page_options": {
		'css': {'content': 'body { font-size: 12px; }'},
		'javascript_enabled': true,
		'viewport': {
			'height': 800,
			'width': 600
		},
		'device': 'Blackberry PlayBook'
	},
	'navigation_options': {
		'timeout': 30000, 
		'wait_until': 'domcontentloaded' 
	}
	
});
console.log('result::', result);
```

### Generate Screenshot from URL

```javascript
const smartbrowz = app.smartbrowz();
let result = await smartbrowz.convertToPdf("https://www.google.com", 
{
	"pdf_options": {
		'display_header_footer': true,
		'footer_template': '<div style="font-size: 10px; width: 100%; text-align: center; padding: 5px;">Page <span class="pageNumber',
		'format': 'A1',
		'header_template': '<div style="font-size: 10px; width: 100%; text-align: center; padding: 5px;">Header</div>',
		'margin': {
			'bottom': '20',
			'left': '10',
			'right': '10',
			'top': '20'
		},
		'height': '100',
		'width': '100',
		'landscape': true,
		'page_ranges': '1-2',
		'scale': 1.0,
		'password': 'Siva123'
	},
	
	"page_options": {
		'css': {'content': 'body { font-size: 12px; }'},
		'javascript_enabled': true,
		'viewport': {
			'height': 800,
			'width': 600
		},
		'device': 'Blackberry PlayBook'
	},
	'navigation_options': {
		'timeout': 30000, 
		'wait_until': 'domcontentloaded' 
	}
	
});
console.log('result::', result);
```

In the PDF & Screenshot section of the console, you can directly test this component using the [Playground feature](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/smartbrowz/help/pdfnscreenshot/implementation/#generating-pdf--screenshots-through-playground), and you can also [copy the SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/smartbrowz/help/pdfnscreenshot/implementation/#generating-pdf--screenshots-through-code) directly from the console.
