# MkDocs Exporter

A highly configurable plugin for [*MkDocs*](https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs) that exports your pages as PDF documents.  
Additionally, it can combine your entire documentation into a single PDF file.

- [Documentation](https://adrienbrignon.github.io/mkdocs-exporter)
- [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/mkdocs-exporter)
- [Examples](./examples)

## Features

- 🚀 **Fast** - All PDF documents are generated concurrently!
- 🎨 **Customizable** - full control over the resulting documents
  - Combine all your pages into a single PDF document
  - Create [cover pages](https://adrienbrignon.github.io/mkdocs-exporter/setup/setting-up-documents/#setting-up-cover-pages)
  - Define custom scripts and stylesheets to customize your PDF documents
  - Add [buttons](https://adrienbrignon.github.io/mkdocs-exporter/setup/setting-up-buttons/) to the top of your pages ([example](https://adrienbrignon.github.io/mkdocs-exporter/setup/setting-up-buttons/))
  - Compatible with [`material`](https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material) and [`readthedocs`](https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/choosing-your-theme/#readthedocs) themes
    - Check out sample PDF documents [here](./examples/themes)

  - [*Playwright*](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python) to automate browsers
