Good day,
Im using jsPDF for the first time, and I find it good pdf generator because it was fast and doesnt consume server's CPU, but I am having a hard time on adding some style on it, even a simple text alingment doesnt work? Can anyone please help me with this one, or give me some tips to manipulate it? Any comment/answers/advice would really be appreciated.
here is my code.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
{{ HTML::script("js/jspdf/js/jquery/jquery-1.7.1.min.js")}}

</head>
<body>
<div style="border-width: 2px; border-style: dotted; padding: 1em; font-size:120%;line-height: 1.5em;" id="fromHTMLtestdiv">
<div>
<h1>INVOICE No. 1</h1>
<p style="float:left">Doe, John A</p>
<p style="float:right">Oklahoma city</p>
</div>
<table>
<colgroup>
<col width="10%">
<col width="30%">
<col width="40%">
<col width="10%">
<col width="10%">
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>id</th>
<th>item name</th>
<th>description</th>
<th>price</th>
<th>qty</th>
<th>subtotal</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
@foreach ($items as $item => $value)
<tr>
<td>{{$value->itemId}}</td>
<td>{{$value->itemName}}</td>
<td>{{$value->description}}</td>
<td>{{$value->itemPrice}}</td>
<td>{{$value->quantity}}</td>
<td>{{$value->quantity*$value->itemPrice}}</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div>
<button onclick="javascript:demoFromHTML()" class="button">Run Code</button></p></div> </div>
</div>
</div>
<h1></h1>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
//demoFromHTML();
});
</script>
</body>
<footer>
</footer>
</html>
here is my js:
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 = $('#fromHTMLtestdiv')[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
)
}
and it will render this pdf:
I want the address to be on the same line but on the right side of my form and properly dissect my table to have a proper width every column. Any ideas please
Maybe the float
attribute is not enought to align the <p>
elements side by side, it's best to set a width on the paragraph that's smaller than the container (parent) element.
<div>
<h1>INVOICE No. 1</h1>
<p style="float:left; width:150px;">Doe, John A</p>
<p style="float:right; width:150px;">Oklahoma city</p>
</div>
Hope it helps :D
