I have big trouble with jsPDF since iOS7 exists. We developed a Web App and used jsPDF to create PDFs on-the-fly. We open the PDF in a new Safari window so that the user gets access to Adobe Reader to send the PDF via Mail or do other things. In iOS6 this was no problem, but in iOS7 you can't open data:application/pdf;base64 links in a new window! Note this only happens if you add the Web App to your homescreen.
If someone has a solution, a workaround or other helpful informations I would be glad to hear.

Got a solution!! Create a html file (eg pdf.html) and add
<!DOCTYPE html><html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
document.location.href = document.location.hash.substr(1);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Create a link
<a class="btn btn-default" id="pdfData" ng-show="isMobile && pdfReady" ref="app/views/pdf.html" target="xxx">
Download PDF
</a>
After you "rendered" your pdf get the datauristring and add it to your link as hash.
var pdfData = doc.output('datauristring');
var element = document.getElementById('pdfData');
element.href = "app/views/pdf.html#" + pdfData;
element.target = "xxx";
$scope.pdfReady = true; // show download link
And now if the user clicks the download link a new window is opened in safari and the pdf get shown
