In this tutorial, i am going to teach you how to print page as pdf. Simple, just follow these steps.I will be using the CrowdPDF API. So you are required to signup with them and obtain an API key. Next, you would edit the setting on this script to reflect the your API key. The required crowd crowdPDF file is included in the folder attached. Hope you would add some comments.

try {
// build the url and remove the pdf field from the query string
$url = "http://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
if (count($_GET) > 1) {
unset($_GET["action"]);
$url = $url . "?" . http_build_query($_GET, '', '&');
}
// call the API enter your username, and API key
