Free Online HTML to PDF Converter The PDF (Portable Document Format) became over the years the de facto standard for printable documents mainly because the PDF can represent the document in a manner independent of the application software, hardware or operating system, the document content can be easily distributed as a single file and the text fonts used by the document can be embedded such that those fonts don't have to be installed on the machine where the document is dislayed or sent to the printer.
The HTML format on the other side is the standard for the information published on the Web, is easy to learn, design and maintain and many companies already have documents and reports available in this format. The HTML documents are written in a flow layout letting the web browsers to render the content which makes the insertion, deletion and changing of the elements an easy job. There are many tools for designing static HTML documents and many server frameworks for dinamically generating HTML pages based on a higher level description (ASP.NET framework from Microsoft is a very good example for this).
The drawback of the documents in the HTML format is that they are not suitable for an easy distribution because they refer external resources like images and CSS file. Also because the traditional measuring unit of the elements in a HTML document is the pixel, the aspect of the rendered content is dependent of the resolution of the printing device. Even more, not all the web browsers respect the HTML standard and the aspect of the rendered content can slightly differ function of the web browser. For example the printout of the same HTML document on the same machine from IE and Firefox web browser will not look the same.
