I am using jsPDF to create a PDF by looping through some HTML code to find the values it needs. I am able to get the values just fine, but when I try to insert the header_img it does not work. I have found many solutions on Google but the one I am working with now is the only one that does not throw an error.
This is the code being used to get take the url that is provided via the loop, convert it to a DataURL, and then insert the image into the PDF. It does not give me any errors, but all that is in the PDF is the black border and no image. Any ideas?
function getDataUri(url, cb) {
var image = new Image();
image.setAttribute('crossOrigin', 'anonymous'); //getting images from external domain
image.onload = function () {
console.log(url);
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = this.naturalWidth;
canvas.height = this.naturalHeight;
//next three lines for white background in case png has a transparent background
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.fillStyle = '#fff'; /// set white fill style
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(this, 0, 0);
cb(canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg'));
};
image.src = url;
}
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'in', 'letter');
var left_margin = .5;
var top_margin =.5;
var height = 2.313;
var width = 3.25;
var header_img_height = 1;
//Draw border
pdf.setLineWidth(1/92);
pdf.setDrawColor(0, 0, 0);
pdf.rect(left_margin, top_margin, width, height);
//example image
var header_img = 'http://www.quotehd.com/imagequotes/authors24/jeff-olsen-quote-two-clicks-and-its-broke.jpg';
let logo = null;
//callback to get DataURL
getDataUri(header_img, function(dataUri) {
logo = dataUri;
console.log("logo=" + logo);
//Add image to PDF
pdf.addImage(logo, 'JPEG', left_margin, top_margin, header_img_height, width);
});
pdf.output('save', 'test.pdf');

I ended up solving the issue by writing a PHP script that would convert the image to Base64.
$img_src = urldecode($_GET['url']);
$img_str = base64_encode(file_get_contents($img_src));
echo 'data:' . getimagesize($img_src)['mime'] . ';base64,' . $img_str;
Then using jQuery, I passed the url to the PHP script and got the Base64 data in return:
function getBase64(url) {
var out = '';
$.ajax({
url: 'get-dataurl.php?url=' + encodeURI(url),
async: false,
dataTye: 'text',
success: function(data) {
out = data;
}
});
return out;
}
Certainly was not ideal, but it works.
You can encode the image to base64, you would use this tool or any similar and replace it on your code.

First part of my application loads picture with file chooser from my file system and draws image to canvas. I take that canvas and convert it to data URL and also save it in my database.
var imgData = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpg");
factory.saveData(imgData); // execute some java code
Here is the problem. I can't redraw that image, my javascript:
var pic = new Image();
pic.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(pic, 0, 0); // ctx = canvas.getContext("2d")
};
// This data url is copy/pasted from database for simplicity
pic.src = "data:image/png;base64,iVBOR..........ElFTkSuQmCC";
Onload function is called but I just get transparent image.
Probably has something to do with the fact that getDataFromDatabase() is asynchronous so you're returning a promise object to pic.src instead of the data url. Fix this by using a then call on getDataFromDatabase and using the result on pic.src like this:
var pic = new Image();
var pic.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(pic, 0, 0);
};
getDataFromDatabase().then(dataUrl => {
pic.src = dataUrl;
});
Here's a full example of this in action. I draw to a canvas, store the canvas data as a base64 data url into a variable, save it into a mock DB using closures, then reload the data from a simulated asynchronous function call by using a promise.
const canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// Initialize canvas to a random image
const imageUrl = 'https://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/company/img/logos/so/so-logo.svg?v=a010291124bf';
const initialImage = new Image();
initialImage.src = imageUrl;
initialImage.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(initialImage, 0, 0);
}
// Convert canvas to base64 data url
const imageData = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
const getDataFromDatabase = saveData(imageData);
// Clear the canvas
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
// Redraw the image
const pic = new Image();
getDataFromDatabase().then(data => {
pic.src = data;
});
pic.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(pic, 0, 0);
}
function saveData(image) {
return function getDataFromDatabase() {
return new Promise(resolve => {
resolve(image);
});
}
}
<canvas id="myCanvas">
</canvas>
Edit: It shouldn't really matter where you get the image data from. If the data is not malformed, it should draw to the canvas. Here's an example identical to the way you're loading image data (from a hardcoded data url):
const imageData = 'data:image/png;base64,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

I suggest you check your image data using a base64 image decoder to see if your image data is malformed or not. If your data url is valid, then something else I can suggest is ensuring your canvas width and height are equal to or greater than the image's width and height or else it'll be hidden (if the image you're supplying has empty space / padding).
I develop Photoshop extension that sends images to the server.
Edit: Extensions in photoshop build from html file that define the GUI, js file that basically is the same as any js file, but it's can also launch photoshop function and it is execute from photoshop.
I need to send the images from the file system of the user (from C:\path\to\images)
To encode the images I converted them to dataURL (base64).
The problem occurs in the first time that I convert the images to dataURL. But in the second time and so, it manages to convert the images and everything is fine. In the first time the image doesn't loaded.
I have a folder where the images are and I want to upload the pictures from there, I used a loop that runs on photos and set them into <img src=path> to and then it converts them based 64 via <canvas>.
My code:
function convertLayersToBase64(imgHeight, imgWidth){
var img = new Image();
images = [];
for (var i=0; i<=imagesLength; i++){
path = folder + "layer " + i +".png";
img.src = path;
var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.height = imgHeight;
canvas.width = imgWidth;
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL();
images.push( dataURL );
}
return images;
}
I tried to delay the conversion by delay:
function delay(time) {
var d1 = new Date();
var d2 = new Date();
while (d2.valueOf() < d1.valueOf() + time) {
d2 = new Date();
}
}
JQuery when ready:
$(function(){
images.push(getBase64Image());
});
Img.complete
while(!img.complete)
continue;
(In the last example the code stuck in loop)
To put the function in:
img.onload = function(){
//the function here..
//when I use this method it succeed to convert
//only the last image.
}
Nothing worked..
I tried everything, please tell me what to change and how to fix that.
Edit: It's seem to me that the only way to load an image it's when the code
The function onload is an asynchronous action. You cannot just return images as the last statement within your convertLayersToBase64 function. You should either use promises, or a more simple approach would be to use a callback function.
function convertLayersToBase64(imgHeight, imgWidth, callback){
var images = [];
for (var i = 0; i <= imagesLength; i++) {
var img = new Image();
img.onload = function() {
var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.height = imgHeight;
canvas.width = imgWidth;
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
ctx.drawImage(this, 0, 0);
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL();
images.push(dataURL);
if(images.length === imagesLength) {
callback(images);
}
}
path = folder + "layer " + i +".png";
img.src = path;
}
}
You would call this like:
convertLayersToBase64(200, 200, function(images) {
console.log('hii, i got images', images);
});
This is obviously without any form of error check, or even best practice guidelines, but I'll leave it up to you to implement that.
I'm currently using pdfmake to generate project report pdf's given information, and I'm having some trouble getting images to display.
I have a function that generates a pdfmake "object" that goes like this:
function singleProject(data) {
return {
text: "Project: \n" + data.title + \n\nImage: \n",
pageBreak: 'before'
}
}
I want to add an image to that report given an image URL (something like "images/sample_image.jpg"), and from what I've read on other answers I have to convert it to a base 64 format.
One of these functions was provided in another answer but I can't quite figure out how I'm supposed to be utilizing it:
function convertImgToBase64URL(url, callback, outputFormat){
var canvas = document.createElement('CANVAS'),
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'),
img = new Image;
img.crossOrigin = 'Anonymous';
img.onload = function(){
var dataURL;
canvas.height = img.height;
canvas.width = img.width;
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
dataURL = canvas.toDataURL(outputFormat);
callback(dataURL);
canvas = null;
};
img.src = url;
}
However, I'm not exactly too sure how I should go about using this function to add the image to the first function provided, as it doesn't return the dataURL; if I try something like:
function singleProject(data) {
return {
text: "Project: \n" + data.title + \n\nImage: \n",
image: convertImgToBase64URL(data.image), //data.image is the URL so something like "images/sample_image.jpg"
width: 300,
pageBreak: 'before'
}
}
The image doesn't show up.
Use hidden
<img id='imgToExport' src='someimageurl' style='display:none'/>
and in JavaScript use
var imgToExport = document.getElementById('imgToExport');
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = imgToExport.width;
canvas.height = imgToExport.height;
canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(imgToExport, 0, 0);
canvas.toDataURL('image/png')
By this way you donot need asynchronous call
I am trying to generate a PDF from HTML using jspdf plugin. I am stuck with loading Images into PDF. There is a function addImage() in plugin which takes base64 encoding of an image, but converting an image to base64 is not working.
I have used below two ways
//Create canvas, draw image in context and get the data url
imgToDataURL = function (img, outputFormat){
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = 20;
canvas.height = 20;
var c = canvas.getContext('2d');
c.height = img.height;
c.width=img.width;
c.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
c.save();
var dataurl = canvas.toDataURL(outputFormat);
return dataurl;
}
var img = new Image();
img.crossOrigin = 'Anonymous';
img.src = "image path"
img.height= 60;
img.width=60;
var dataURL = this.imgToDataURL(img,"image/jpeg");
renderer.pdf.addImage(dataURL, 'png',x+padding,y + this.internal.getLineHeight(),imageWidth,imageHeight);
This is printing wrong dataURL I am getting a white image. If I hard code the base64 code i.e return a hardcoded dataURL then addImage works fine. So the issue is with canvas.toDataURL which is giving me wrong output
this is the 2nd way
convertImgToBase64URL = function (url, callback, outputFormat){
var img = new Image();
img.crossOrigin = 'Anonymous';
img.onload = function(){
var canvas = document.createElement('CANVAS'),
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'), dataURL;
canvas.height = this.height;
canvas.width = this.width;
ctx.drawImage(this, 0, 0);
dataURL = canvas.toDataURL(outputFormat);
callback(dataURL);
canvas = null;
};
img.src = url;
}
this.convertImgToBase64URL("Image Path",function(base64){
renderer.pdf.addImage(base64, 'PNG', 20, 20,48,48);
})
I have run this inside a javascript and the onload function is not even running I am not sure what is my mistake is.
Please suggest me what mistake I am doing in either way
In the first you missed assigning an onload function to your image. For that reason, the moment you try to create the dataURL, the image might not be loaded yet, ergo, the blank image. You could try changing the last few lines to this:
...
img.width=60;
img.onload = function () {
var dataURL = this.imgToDataURL(img,"image/jpeg");
renderer.pdf.addImage(dataURL, 'png',x+padding,y + this.internal.getLineHeight(),imageWidth,imageHeight);
}
img.src = "image path";
As for the second one, there seems to be a problem with the convertImgToBase64URL() which accepts 3 parameters, but you are passing 2. In you example, outputFormat parameter is undefined.
I am creating an app that allows the user to take the photo. The photo taken is drawn onto a canvas and tagged with the current date and other user specific information once the editing of the image is done on the canvas, I am able to get the image as DataUri but the app requires the image to be saved to the phones local file-system and get back the path of the saved location on the device file-system. The following is the code for the getting the dataURI:
var canvas = $('#myCanvas')[0];
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var imageObj = new Image();
var scale = 0.2;
var imgWidth, imgHeight;
imageObj.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
imageObj.onload = function() {
var mpImg = new MegaPixImage(imageObj);
if (z.globals.deviceType == "iPhone") {
imgWidth = imageObj.width,
imgHeight = imageObj.height;
mpImg.render(document.getElementById('canvas'), { width: imgWidth * scale, height: imgHeight * scale });
} else {
canvas.width = 670;
canvas.height = 500;
context.drawImage(imageObj, 0, 0, 670, 500);
}
var dateTaken = new Date();
context.fillStyle = "#FFFFFF";
context.fillText(toString(dateTaken), 0, 30);
largeImg.src = canvas.toDataURL();
Is there a way using Phonegap to save the dataURI to device file system and get the filepath back.
I tried the canvas2ImagePlugin.js but it saves the image to gallery but does not return the file path.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Indeed, canvas2ImagePlugin returns the URI of the saved file.
It's the argument passed to the success callback refered as "msg" in the doc.
window.canvas2ImagePlugin.saveImageDataToLibrary(
function(msg){
console.log("Imaged saved to URI : "+msg);
},
function(err){
console.log(err);
},
document.getElementById('myCanvas')
);
It returns something like this :
Imaged saved to URI :/storage/sdcard1/Pictures/c2i_1862014144659.png
