Print to PDF on Android?

[JJS]

Nice.

Save a simple text as html and then launch it opens the browser.

*launch URL ("file:" & specialFolderPath("documents") & "order.html")*

It seems Chrome can print to pdf after all, press share and print, then 
you can choose.

So next i want to add an image.

And therefore i will export the image to a jpg or whatever file, then 
save the text written as html markup language instead of plain text, and 
add the image url as reference.

see if that works also.


Doei,

Jerry
