name	single-page-pdf-export
description	Use when the user asks to export a local HTML file, web page, or invitation page to a single-page PDF, a no-pagination PDF, a long PDF with auto-calculated height, or a PDF without headers and footers. Trigger on phrases like 单页 PDF, 不分页, 自动计算长度, 长图 PDF, 去掉页眉页脚, export HTML to single-page PDF, or print page to one PDF page.

Single-Page PDF Export Skill

Export an HTML file or loaded page to a single-page PDF whose height is calculated from the rendered content, with no browser header or footer.

Use This Skill For

• Local .html files that should become a single long PDF
• Pages that should not be split across multiple PDF pages
• Requests to remove browser print headers and footers
• Pages using viewport-height layouts like min-h-screen that break normal printing

Inputs To Resolve

Before exporting, determine:

1. The source page:
   • Local file path like /user/test/page.html
   • Or a file:///, http://, or https:// URL
2. The output PDF path:
   • If the user does not specify one, default to the source filename plus -single-page.pdf

Workflow

1. Confirm the source exists if it is a local file.
2. Ensure a Chromium-based browser is installed:
   • Prefer Chrome, then Edge
   • The asset script checks common Windows install paths and CHROME_PATH
3. Ensure Node dependencies are available in the current workspace:
   • Install puppeteer-core with npm install --no-save puppeteer-core
   • If you want to verify the resulting page count, also install pdf-lib
4. Run the bundled exporter:

node ./assets/export-single-page-pdf.mjs "<input>" "<output>"

5. Validate the result:
   • Confirm the PDF file exists
   • If pdf-lib is available, verify page count is 1

Validation Command

Use this only when you need to confirm that the PDF is truly single-page:

node --input-type=module -e "import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs'; import { PDFDocument } from 'pdf-lib'; const bytes = readFileSync(process.argv[1]); const pdf = await PDFDocument.load(bytes); console.log('pages=' + pdf.getPageCount());" "<output.pdf>"

Notes

• The exporter freezes h-screen and min-h-screen utilities to pixel values before printing. This avoids the common feedback loop where print page height changes the layout height and forces pagination.
• The exporter disables animations and transitions before measuring the page.
• The exporter sets a custom print page size and zero margins, and disables browser headers and footers.

Troubleshooting

• If puppeteer-core is missing, install it in the workspace with npm install --no-save puppeteer-core.
• If Chrome or Edge is installed in a non-standard location, set CHROME_PATH before running the exporter.
• If the output still splits across pages, rerun the exporter with the bundled script instead of the browser's normal print dialog.
• If the source is a local file with relative assets, prefer passing the local file path instead of pasting raw HTML into a temporary file.

Expected Outcome

The result should be a single PDF page whose height matches the rendered document, with backgrounds preserved and no header or footer added by the browser.
