In this tutorial, I will teach you how to convert HTML5 tags like heading, div, and paragraphs to PDF using JavaScript. To make the process easier, I’ll use jsPDF .fromHTML() function for converting HTML5 to PDF file.
The complete source code of this project including how to use jsPDF .fromHTML() is given in this tutorial.

The Magic Of Reading </h1>
<p>
Reading is probably one of the most beneficial and feasible activities that a man can do.
It is through reading that a person is going to be able to discover new ideas, concepts, places, and people.
Some people even describe reading as a journey that starts as the opening of a page, and finishes as the last page is turned.
The reason why reading is so important is because reading is relaxing to our mind and soul; it is a way for children to reach out to the world,
and it improves our thinking process.
