How to Convert Web Pages to PDF with BrewPDF: Authentication and Login Requirements

Can BrewPDF convert web pages that require login?

Unfortunately, BrewPDF currently cannot convert web pages that require authentication or login credentials. This means that if you want to convert a web page to a PDF using BrewPDF, the page must be accessible without any login or authentication requirements.

What if I want to convert a web page that requires login?

If you want to convert a web page that requires login or authentication, you won't be able to do so directly with BrewPDF. However, there is an alternative solution. You can manually obtain the HTML content of the page and provide it directly to BrewPDF for conversion.

How can I obtain the HTML content of a web page that requires login?

In order to obtain the HTML content of a web page that requires login, you will need to access the page while logged in using a web browser. Once you have logged in and the page is fully loaded, you can right-click anywhere on the page and select "View Page Source" or "Inspect Element" (the exact wording may vary depending on the browser you are using).

This action will open the browser's developer tools, where you will be able to view the HTML source code of the page. From here, you can select all of the HTML code, copy it, and then provide it to BrewPDF for conversion.
