How to convert large .htm file to .pdf?

Question

I have a fairly large .htm file, 100 MB which doesn't fully load in any browser I've tried (the page stops rendering after a certain point), so I want to try converting the file into a .pdf file so that I can view the entire document. Since a browser cannot fully render the file, which software/program out there can convert this large .htm file, if a browser cannot load the entire file in one go? Maybe some sort of software/program that can load the file in chunks at a time and then in the end, put them all together? Or converts the file on-the-fly without having to load the entire file before processing it? (I am on Windows 7) Thanks

Pandoc has no hard limit on how much memory it can use. You can invoke from the console after installation with this command:

pandoc -f html -t pdf yourfile.html

Unfortunately, to correctly convert a 100MB file, you will probably need at least 64GB of RAM.

I have successfully converted a 50MB html file with pandoc using about 20GB of RAM on my desktop computer.
