page.pdf() generates a pdf of the page with print css media. To generate a pdf with screen media, call page.emulateMedia('screen') before calling page.pdf():

NOTE By default, page.pdf() generates a pdf with modified colors for printing. Use the -webkit-print-color-adjust property to force rendering of exact colors.

// Generates a PDF with 'screen' media type.
await page.emulateMedia('screen');
await page.pdf({path: 'page.pdf'});

The width, height, and margin options accept values labeled with units. Unlabeled values are treated as pixels.

A few examples:

page.pdf({width: '100px'}) - prints with width set to 100 pixels
page.pdf({width: '10cm'}) - prints with width set to 10 centimeters.

All possible units are:

• px - pixel
• in - inch
• cm - centimeter
• mm - millimeter
