HTML to PDF

Is it possible to take a HTML file with inline CSS and convert it to a PDF document while rendering the same quality, images, background colors, etc? If so, how would I achieve this?

Adobe Acrobat Pro DC says they can do this, but can't, doPDF is useless along with several others.

Thanks

Thanks jason chan Problem is the designs are in 300DPI so they don't fit within the screen, if I zoom in / out it throws things off.

Figured it out, opened it in Chrome, CMD + P, save as PDF then unchecked Header / Footer, checked Background and changed Portrait to Tabloid.
