Frequently asked questions
How does HTML-to-PDF conversion handle complex layouts and CSS?
HTML-to-PDF conversion capabilities are designed to effectively handle complex layouts and CSS. The conversion process ensures that intricate HTML structures and detailed styling are accurately rendered in the resulting PDF.
Nutrient uses a sophisticated rendering engine that supports modern HTML and CSS standards. This includes handling complex page structures, multicolumn layouts, and nested elements to ensure the PDF output matches the original HTML content as closely as possible.
The conversion engine fully supports CSS, including advanced features such as media queries, flexbox and grid layouts, and custom fonts. This ensures the visual appearance of the HTML content is preserved in the PDF, maintaining consistency with the original design.

We offer extensive customization options for DOCX templates, allowing you to tailor documents by inserting dynamic data, customizing layouts, and applying various formatting styles.
Additionally, you can manipulate styles, headers, footers, and other DOCX elements to create professional, branded documents.
