only if there was an option to render pdf and save it to disk in headless mode.

Still great step.

View on HN

scroll down a bit and look for `--print-to-pdf`.

Does not work for me.

$ google-chrome --disable-gpu --headless --print-to-pdf https://www.chromestatus.com/ && ls -la .pdf ls: cannot access '.pdf': No such file or directory

Make sure you're using Chrome 59. If you don't have that yet, try Chrome Canary.

The Google Chrome website installs v58 when I press download, and when I try to install Canary:

"Chrome Canary is currently not available on the Linux platform."

Get a build of Chromium that is more recent than this feature

Any ideas on how to print landscape with no margin ?

If your system is already configured to use Google Chrome's apt repo (e.g. after installing a stable Chrome), you can do:

    apt-get install google-chrome-unstable

Thanks, i was mostly thinking in the interactive mode (read: selenium). Currently this seems to be available in devtools protocol.
