There are some pure JavaScript libraries such as jsPDF ([jsPDF - HTML5 PDF Generator | Parallax](https://parall.ax/products/jspdf)).  
How can I output a page generated in WeWeb as a PDF?  
Is it possible to do this with a pure JavaScript library or do I have to use a third party web site/service such as [https://www.api2pdf.com/](https://www.api2pdf.com/) ?  
I suppose I could take jsPDF and put it on AWS or something like that and enable some restful inputs.

I may have reports with 10-30 pages.  
What is the recommended procedure to get WeWeb to output a PDF.

This is at least a start.

I added  
`<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html2pdf.js/0.9.2/html2pdf.bundle.js"></script>`  
to the custom code shown below

Then I added this as custom JS

```auto
var makepdf = document.getElementById("makepdf"); //id of section to be exported
html2pdf().from(makepdf).save();

```

I haven’t try multiple pages, custom file names or anything like that yet.
