How to get the print as PDF result using jquery

Question

I would like to get the HTML page in the PDF.

After some studies I found the pdfJS plugin, it has some problem with bootstrap , the layout will be messy

http://jsfiddle.net/5ud8jkvf/

here is the fiddle

I found the default print as PDF result is great

var doc = new jsPDF(); var specialElementHandlers = {     '#editor': function (element, renderer) {         return true;     } };  $('#cmd').click(function () {     doc.fromHTML($('#content').html(), 15, 15, {         'width': 170,             'elementHandlers': specialElementHandlers     });     doc.save('sample-file.pdf'); }); 

So , instead of fixing the problem for pdfJS, I wonder are there html / jquery way to get the pdf from the print as pdf.

The HTML need to convert to PDF is one page application form only, thanks a lot

Answer 1

The current version allows to get the blob or the arraybuffer of the pdf. The only thing you have to do is to update from 0.9 to 1.2.x of the library and call save like this

var myBlob;  $('#cmd').click(function () {     doc.fromHTML($('#content').html(), 15, 15, {         'width': 170,             'elementHandlers': specialElementHandlers     });     myBlob = doc.save('blob'); });

May be you can try html2canvas(It will parse the DOM, Calculate the styles applied).

(function(){ var   form = $('.form'),  cache_width = form.width(),  a4  =[ 595.28,  841.89];  // for a4 size paper width and height  $('#create_pdf').on('click',function(){  $('body').scrollTop(0);  createPDF(); }); //create pdf function createPDF(){  getCanvas().then(function(canvas){   var    img = canvas.toDataURL("image/png"),   doc = new jsPDF({           unit:'px',            format:'a4'         });              doc.addImage(img, 'JPEG', 20, 20);         doc.save('techumber-html-to-pdf.pdf');         form.width(cache_width);  }); }  // create canvas object function getCanvas(){  form.width((a4[0]*1.33333) -80).css('max-width','none');  return html2canvas(form,{      imageTimeout:2000,      removeContainer:true     });  }  }());
