FAQ

  • Do I need both CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements? The tool works best with both, but it can also build a table from INSERT statements alone, inferring headers from the INSERT column list or generating generic column names.
  • What happens to very wide tables? Wide tables are rendered as-is into the PDF. For readability, consider splitting extremely wide tables into multiple exports or using landscape orientation.
  • Can I customize fonts or colors? The generated HTML uses a fixed, professional theme. You can copy the HTML table markup, adjust styles in your own environment, and then use another HTML-to-PDF pipeline if you need fully custom branding.
  • Is there a row limit? There is no hard-coded limit, but very large tables will produce larger PDFs and may take longer to generate depending on your browser and hardware.
  • Is my data sent to a server? No. All parsing and PDF generation happen locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Privacy & Security

All conversions happen locally in your browser. Your MySQL data is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security. The PDF is generated entirely client-side.
