Frequently Asked Questions
Does it wait for JavaScript to finish?
Yes — the renderer waits for network idle before printing, so async data-loading pages typically render correctly.
Are cookies/auth supported?
No — the URL must be publicly accessible. For authenticated pages, render server-side and POST the HTML.
What about headers/footers?
The renderer uses default print headers/footers. Customize via CSS `@page` rules in the source HTML.
