## Install Prince XML
|
|
|
|
Prince XML is a utility I've decided to use to create PDFs. The Prince XML utility requires a list of web pages from which it can construct a PDF.
|
|
|
|
You need to install Prince. See the [instructions on the Prince website](http://www.princexml.com/doc/installing/#macosx) for installing Prince.
|
|
|
|
Prince will work even without a license, but it will imprint a small Prince image on the first page.
|
|
|
|
## Customize PDF headers and footers
|
|
|
|
Open up the css/printstyles.css file and customize the email address (`youremail@domain.com`) that is listed there. This email address appears in the bottom left footer of the PDF output.
