I am using jspdf.debug.js to export different data from a website but there are a few problems, I can't get it to render the CSS in the exported PDF and if I have an image in the page I am exporting, the PDF returns blank...
Does anyone know a way to fix this ?
Here is a jsfiddle showing it's not rendering the CSS
And my script
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#export').click(function(){
var d = new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 19).replace(/-/g, ""),
filename = 'financiar_' + d + '.pdf',
pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'letter'),
specialElementHandlers = {
'#editor': function( element, renderer ) {
return true;
}
};
pdf.fromHTML(
$('.export').get(0) // HTML element
, 25 // x coord
, 25 // y coord
, {
'width': 550 // was 7.5, max width of content on PDF
, elementHandlers: specialElementHandlers
}
);
pdf.save( filename );
})
});
As I know jsPDF is not working with CSS and the same issue I was facing.
To solve this issue, I used Html2Canvas. Just Add HTML2Canvas JS and then use pdf.addHTML()
instead of pdf.fromHTML()
.
Here's my code (no other code):
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'letter');
pdf.addHTML($('#ElementYouWantToConvertToPdf')[0], function () {
pdf.save('Test.pdf');
});
Best of Luck!
Edit: Refer to this line in case you didn't find .addHTML()
jspdf does not work with css but it can work along with html2canvas. You can use jspdf along with html2canvas.
include these two files in script on your page :
<script type="text/javascript" src="html2canvas.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jspdf.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function genPDF()
{
html2canvas(document.body,{
onrendered:function(canvas){
var img=canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.addImage(img,'JPEG',20,20);
doc.save('test.pdf');
}
});
}
</script>
You need to download script files such as https://github.com/niklasvh/html2canvas/releases https://cdnjs.com/libraries/jspdf
make clickable button on page so that it will generate pdf and it will be seen same as that of original html page.
<a href="javascript:genPDF()">Download PDF</a>
It will work perfectly.
Slight change to @rejesh-yadav wonderful answer.
html2canvas now returns a promise.
html2canvas(document.body).then(function (canvas) {
var img = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.addImage(img, 'JPEG', 10, 10);
doc.save('test.pdf');
});
Hope this helps some!
