I want to convert some of my divs into PDF and I\'ve tried jsPDF library but with no success. It seems I can\'t understand what I need to import to make the library work. I\'ve been through the examples and I still can\'t figure it out. I\'ve tried the following:
<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/jspdf.min.js\"></script>
After jQuery and:
$(\"#html2pdf\").on(\'click\', function(){
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.fromHTML($(\'body\').get(0), 15, 15, {
\'width\': 170
});
console.log(doc);
});
for testing purposes but I receive:
\"Cannot read property \'#smdadminbar\' of undefined\"
where #smdadminbar
is the first div from the body.
you can use pdf from html as follows,
Step 1: Add the following script to the header
<script src=\"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.2/jspdf.min.js\"></script>
or download locally
Step 2: Add HTML script to execute jsPDF code
Customize this to pass the identifier or just change #content to be the identifier you need.
<script>
function demoFromHTML() {
var pdf = new jsPDF(\'p\', \'pt\', \'letter\');
// source can be HTML-formatted string, or a reference
// to an actual DOM element from which the text will be scraped.
source = $(\'#content\')[0];
// we support special element handlers. Register them with jQuery-style
// ID selector for either ID or node name. (\"#iAmID\", \"div\", \"span\" etc.)
// There is no support for any other type of selectors
// (class, of compound) at this time.
specialElementHandlers = {
// element with id of \"bypass\" - jQuery style selector
\'#bypassme\': function (element, renderer) {
// true = \"handled elsewhere, bypass text extraction\"
return true
}
};
margins = {
top: 80,
bottom: 60,
left: 40,
width: 522
};
// all coords and widths are in jsPDF instance\'s declared units
// \'inches\' in this case
pdf.fromHTML(
source, // HTML string or DOM elem ref.
margins.left, // x coord
margins.top, { // y coord
\'width\': margins.width, // max width of content on PDF
\'elementHandlers\': specialElementHandlers
},
function (dispose) {
// dispose: object with X, Y of the last line add to the PDF
// this allow the insertion of new lines after html
pdf.save(\'Test.pdf\');
}, margins
);
}
</script>
Step 3: Add your body content
<a href=\"javascript:demoFromHTML()\" class=\"button\">Run Code</a>
<div id=\"content\">
<h1>
We support special element handlers. Register them with jQuery-style.
</h1>
</div>
Refer to the original tutorial
See a working fiddle
You only need this link jspdf.min.js
It has everything in it.
<script src=\"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.2/jspdf.min.js\"></script>
This is finally what did it for me (and triggers a disposition):
function onClick() {
var pdf = new jsPDF(\'p\', \'pt\', \'letter\');
pdf.canvas.height = 72 * 11;
pdf.canvas.width = 72 * 8.5;
pdf.fromHTML(document.body);
pdf.save(\'test.pdf\');
};
var element = document.getElementById(\"clickbind\");
element.addEventListener(\"click\", onClick);
<h1>Dsdas</h1>
<a id=\"clickbind\" href=\"#\">Click</a>
<script src=\"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.3/jspdf.min.js\"></script>
And for those of the KnockoutJS inclination, a little binding:
ko.bindingHandlers.generatePDF = {
init: function(element) {
function onClick() {
var pdf = new jsPDF(\'p\', \'pt\', \'letter\');
pdf.canvas.height = 72 * 11;
pdf.canvas.width = 72 * 8.5;
pdf.fromHTML(document.body);
pdf.save(\'test.pdf\');
};
element.addEventListener(\"click\", onClick);
}
};
Shouldn\'t you also be using the jspdf.plugin.from_html.js library? Besides the main library (jspdf.js), you must use other libraries for \"special operations\" (like jspdf.plugin.addimage.js for using images). Check https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF.
first, you have to create a handler.
var specialElementHandlers = {
\'#editor\': function(element, renderer){
return true;
}
};
then write this code in click event:
doc.fromHTML($(\'body\').get(0), 15, 15, {
\'width\': 170,
\'elementHandlers\': specialElementHandlers
});
var pdfOutput = doc.output();
console.log(\">>>\"+pdfOutput );
assuming you\'ve already declared doc variable.
And Then you have save this pdf file using File-Plugin.
