Hi @Jabbar Khan
I have come together with a concise solution using MATLAB and headless Chrome, which you can run from MATLAB to automate the entire workflow. I have made a dummy excel sheet ("dummy_links.xlsx") with links of random websites. After running the below MATLAB script, we will have a folder called "PDFs" which will save all these links sequentially with name in the date format ("yyyy-mm-dd"). Each PDF is saved with sequential date as (e.g., 2025_09_01, 2025_09_02, …) so the filenames follow a daily sequence.
% Read links from Excel
T = readtable('dummy_links.xlsx');
urls = T.Links;
startDate = datetime(2025,9,1);
outDir = fullfile(pwd, 'PDFs');
if ~exist(outDir, 'dir')
mkdir(outDir);
end
% Path to Chrome
chromePath = '"..\chrome.exe"';
% Loop through each link
for i = 1:numel(urls)
url = urls{i};
fileDate = startDate + caldays(i-1);
dateStr = datestr(fileDate, 'yyyy_mm_dd');
fileName = sprintf('%s.pdf', dateStr);
outFile = fullfile(outDir, fileName)
cmd = sprintf('%s --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf="%s" "%s"', ...
chromePath, outFile, url);
status = system(cmd);
if status == 0
fprintf('Saved PDF: %s\n', outFile);
else
warning('Failed for URL: %s\n', url);
end
end
This will create a folder named "PDFs" in the same folder and should look like:
Hope this helps you!
