I'm using OS X and I see on chrome that I can Save as PDF in the print window if I set the destination to "Save as PDF". Does this functionality exist in Windows?

Is there any way I can take advantage of this and have it save to PDF with just a click of a button? How can I open up the print page and save that as a PDF? Can I set the default destination to "Save as PDF" and then programmatically click the "Save" button?

Edit: I have tried to use jsPDF but was unable to pull the CSS.

there is also an option to print PDF on Windows 10. This javascript code opens a print dialog:

window.print();

I can get the print window to pop up on both Mac and Windows, but how can I set the default print destination to "Save as PDF?" From here how can I use javascript to click "Save?"

I have used PhantomJS before to render PDFs from webpages programmatically. You'd have to write a PhantomJS script to accomplish that but they have helpful examples documented.

jsPDF is a good tool for this.

This question is a possible duplicate of Download a div in a HTML page as pdf using javascript, which provides a demo and sample usage for jsPDF.
