What is yq-pdf-generator?
yq-pdf-generator is a specialized utility designed for AI coding agents to convert HTML files, presentation decks, or web URLs into high-quality PDF documents. Instead of relying on heavy, unstable server-side headless browsers like Playwright, this skill deploys the HTML with native @media print styles, enabling users to export pixel-perfect PDFs locally via their browser's print dialog (Ctrl+P/Cmd+P).
By leveraging the native rendering power of the user's browser, this skill bypasses server-side limitations, fully preserves complex CSS layouts, and ensures long-term availability of generated links. It is one of the most reliable Openclaw Skills for handling documents, slide decks, and dark-themed visual roadmaps without losing styling details.
yq-pdf-generator Use Cases
- HTML Document Conversion: Convert web-based documentation or reports directly into printable PDF files.
- Slide Decks & Presentations: Export custom presentation slides designed in HTML with layout and pagination preserved.
- Learning Roadmaps & Visual Guides: Render interactive maps or visual learning guides containing dark themes and deep styles cleanly to PDF.
- Client-Side Secure PDF Generation: Avoid exposing sensitive HTML documents to server-side PDF renderers by utilizing client-side printing.
How yq-pdf-generator Works
- HTML Preparation: The system compiles the target HTML content and embeds @media print CSS rules, saving it to
/workspace/dist/index.html. - Static Deployment: The compiled site is deployed using the
deploytool to generate a publicly accessible preview URL. - User-Triggered Export: The AI agent provides the deployment URL along with standard print instructions (such as selecting 'Save as PDF' and enabling 'Background graphics').
- Local Rendering: The user opens the link and presses
Ctrl+P(orCmd+Pon macOS) to cleanly print the rendered page locally with fully preserved dark themes.
yq-pdf-generator Setup
To integrate this skill into your environment, prepare the target deployment directory structure and ensure the deployment tool is available.
# Step 1: Create the distribution directory
mkdir -p /workspace/dist
# Step 2: Copy your target HTML source into the distribution folder
cp /workspace/source_file.html /workspace/dist/index.html
# Step 3: Trigger deployment
deploy --dist_dir /workspace/dist --project_name "Your Project Name"
Ensure that your HTML templates include print-specific styling rules to retain correct coloring and layout.
yq-pdf-generator Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill maintains files in a temporary deployment directory for static hosting before clean conversion:
| Path | Description | Retention |
|---|---|---|
/workspace/dist/index.html |
The active HTML payload containing inline CSS styling and @media print configurations. | Overwritten each run |
/workspace/dist/assets/ |
(Optional) Locally referenced assets, fonts, or images. | Persistent per deployment |
/workspace/source_file.html |
Original raw user-provided HTML backup. | User-defined path |
yq-pdf-generator Advanced Features
- Preserved Dark Theme Support: Includes built-in dark background @media print overrides ensuring backgrounds don't turn white during local printing.
- Multi-Agent Deployment Compatibility: Built to integrate with other Openclaw Skills for seamless file handoffs and pipeline automations.
- Zero Server-Side GUI Overhead: Completely avoids unstable headless browser configurations by utilizing native user-agent layout engines.
