## Usage
Following example connects to the UniHTML server, reads the content of the input file and converts it using `github.com/unidoc/unipdf/v3/creator` package.
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/unidoc/unihtml"
"github.com/unidoc/unipdf/v3/creator"
)
func main() {
// UniHTML requires two arguments:
// - Connection path to the unihtml-server i.e.: https://localhost:8080
// - Input path for the file / directory to convert
if len(os.Args) != 3 {
fmt.Println("Err: provided invalid arguments. No UniHTML server path provided")
os.Exit(1)
}
// Establish connection with the UniHTML Server.
if err := unihtml.Connect(os.Args[1]); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Err: Connect failed: %v\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
// Get new PDF Creator.
c := creator.New()
// Read the content of the simple.html file and load it to the conversion.
doc, err := unihtml.NewDocument(os.Args[2])
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Err: NewDocument failed: %v\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
// Draw the html document file in the context of the creator.
if err = c.Draw(doc); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Err: Draw failed: %v\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
// Write the result file to PDF.
if err = c.WriteToFile("document.pdf"); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Err: %v\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
}
