I need to convert a url to pdf. Most links are working fine, but there are some which are slow in loading or in this case doing a connection security check, which results in pdf page with no proper result ( look at this image expected vs outcome.

To counter this i used timeout as converter.convert(url, pdf_filename, **timeout=10**), but this resulted in error

Further to counter this error i tried

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = Options()
#options.add_argument("--window-size=1980,1020")
options.add_argument("--headles=news")
options.add_argument("--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.6422.61 Safari/537.36")

and used wkhtml2pdf,pdfkit with delay , but that is also producing same outcome.( these both are hell slow on some sites in general, so I’m not using them anymore).

I also tried changing the link from https to http, and changing site settings to allow insecure, neither of them worked.

Also if I put time to zero as converter.convert(url, pdf_filename, **timeout=0**), its not giving error, but getting same unexpected outcome.

Is there any solution for it, or any other python library that can make this work.

Thanks.
