Implementation Reference

• src/tools/exportPdf.ts:7-70 (handler)

  The main handler function for the 'docs_export_pdf' tool. It generates detailed instructions for exporting documentation to PDF using Puppeteer or alternative tools.

  export async function exportPdf(args: any) {
    const { docsPath, outputPath, includePages } = args as ExportPdfArgs;
  
    const instructions = `📄 PDF Export Instructions:
  
  1. Install dependencies:
     npm install --save-dev puppeteer
  
  2. Create export script (pdf-export.js):
  
  \`\`\`javascript
  const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
  const path = require('path');
  
  async function exportPdf() {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    
    // Navigate to your built documentation
    await page.goto('file://${docsPath}/index.html', {
      waitUntil: 'networkidle0'
    });
    
    // Generate PDF
    await page.pdf({
      path: '${outputPath}',
      format: 'A4',
      printBackground: true,
      margin: {
        top: '20mm',
        right: '20mm',
        bottom: '20mm',
        left: '20mm'
      }
    });
    
    await browser.close();
    console.log('PDF generated: ${outputPath}');
  }
  
  exportPdf();
  \`\`\`
  
  3. Run the script:
     node pdf-export.js
  
  Alternative tools:
  - prince (commercial, excellent quality)
  - wkhtmltopdf (free, good quality)
  - md-to-pdf (for simple Markdown)
  
  For Docusaurus, check:
  - docusaurus-prince-pdf
  - docusaurus-pdf`;
  
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: "text",
          text: instructions,
        },
      ],
    };
  }
