Automated HTML to PDF Conversion and Compression Workflow

This n8n workflow automates the process of converting HTML content into a PDF, setting a PDF URL, and compressing PDFs, streamlining document management tasks. It begins with a manual trigger allowing users to start the process on demand. The workflow first converts HTML to a PDF document, then sets a specific URL pointing to a PDF file, and finally compresses the generated or fetched PDF for easier storage or transfer. Sticky notes are used within the workflow to document each step, making it easy to understand and modify for future automations.

The key nodes include custom JavaScript-based nodes for HTML-to-PDF conversion and PDF compression, a set node to define a URL for a PDF, and trigger nodes to initiate the workflow manually. This workflow is ideal in scenarios where you need to generate, fetch, or compress PDFs automatically—such as preparing documents for email attachments, optimizing files for web upload, or automating report generation.

Overall, this setup simplifies complex PDF workflows, saving time and reducing manual effort for document processing tasks.
