I want to convert some of my divs into PDF and I've tried jsPDF library but with no success. It seems I can't understand what I need to import to make the library work. I've been through the examples and I still can't figure it out. I've tried the following:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jspdf.min.js"></script>
After jQuery and:
$("#html2pdf").on('click', function(){
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.fromHTML($('body').get(0), 15, 15, {
'width': 170
});
console.log(doc);
});
for testing purposes but I receive:
"Cannot read property '#smdadminbar' of undefined"
where #smdadminbar is the first div from the body.
you can use pdf from html as follows,
Step 1: Add the following script to the header
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.2/jspdf.min.js"></script>
or download locally
Step 2: Add HTML script to execute jsPDF code
Customize this to pass the identifier or just change #content to be the identifier you need.
<script>
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 = $('#content')[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
);
}
</script>
Step 3: Add your body content
Run Code
<div id="content">
<h1>
We support special element handlers. Register them with jQuery-style.
</h1>
</div>
Refer to the original tutorial
See a working fiddle
You only need this link jspdf.min.js
It has everything in it.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.2/jspdf.min.js"></script>
According to the latest version (1.5.3) there is no fromHTML() method anymore.
Instead you should utilize jsPDF HTML plugin, see: https://rawgit.com/MrRio/jsPDF/master/docs/module-html.html#~html
You also need to add html2canvas library in order for it to work properly: https://github.com/niklasvh/html2canvas
JS (from API docs):
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.html(document.body, {
callback: function (doc) {
doc.save();
}
});
You can provide HTML string instead of reference to the DOM element as well.
This is finally what did it for me (and triggers a disposition):
function onClick() {
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'letter');
pdf.canvas.height = 72 * 11;
pdf.canvas.width = 72 * 8.5;
pdf.fromHTML(document.body);
pdf.save('test.pdf');
};
var element = document.getElementById("clickbind");
element.addEventListener("click", onClick);
<h1>Dsdas</h1>
<a id="clickbind" href="#">Click</a>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.3/jspdf.min.js"></script>
And for those of the KnockoutJS inclination, a little binding:
ko.bindingHandlers.generatePDF = {
init: function(element) {
function onClick() {
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'letter');
pdf.canvas.height = 72 * 11;
pdf.canvas.width = 72 * 8.5;
pdf.fromHTML(document.body);
pdf.save('test.pdf');
};
element.addEventListener("click", onClick);
}
};
how about in vuejs how is it applicable?
function onClick() {
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'letter');
pdf.canvas.height = 72 * 11;
pdf.canvas.width = 72 * 8.5;
pdf.fromHTML(document.body);
pdf.save('test.pdf');
};
var element = document.getElementById("clickbind");
element.addEventListener("click", onClick);
<h1>Dsdas</h1>
<a id="clickbind" href="#">Click</a>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.3/jspdf.min.js"></script>
Shouldn't you also be using the jspdf.plugin.from_html.js library? Besides the main library (jspdf.js), you must use other libraries for "special operations" (like jspdf.plugin.addimage.js for using images). Check https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF.
first, you have to create a handler.
var specialElementHandlers = {
'#editor': function(element, renderer){
return true;
}
};
then write this code in click event:
doc.fromHTML($('body').get(0), 15, 15, {
'width': 170,
'elementHandlers': specialElementHandlers
});
var pdfOutput = doc.output();
console.log(">>>"+pdfOutput );
assuming you've already declared doc variable.
And Then you have save this pdf file using File-Plugin.

I want to create a pdf of div and then want to print that pdf.
Inside div there is two div
1st div contents table
2nd div contents image.
<div id="printableDiv">
<div id="1st">
<table>
</table>
</div>
<div id="2nd">
<img>
</div>
</div>
I tried with below code
var imgData = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg", 1.0);
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'a4');
var width = pdf.internal.pageSize.getWidth();
var height = pdf.internal.pageSize.getHeight();
pdf.addImage(imgData, 'JPG', 10, 10, width, height);
for (var i = 1; i <= totalPDFPages; i++) {
pdf.addPage(PDF_Width, PDF_Height);
pdf.addImage(imgData, 'JPG', top_left_margin, -(PDF_Height * i) + (top_left_margin * 4), canvas_image_width, canvas_image_height);
}
but here it will create a jpeg image and then add it to pdf,
but I want to add html content directly to pdf.
Thanks in advance
You can search for that question on google or stackoverflow and already find answers that can help you.
For example, see:
Export HTML table to pdf using jspdf
Here is a jsfiddle link with a working example:
Export HTML table to PDF
The relevant function to call is fromHTML(), which is hopefully self-explanatory.
Code from the jsfiddle (in this example, the HTML table has id customers):
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 = $('#customers')[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: 10,
width: 700
};
// 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);
}
Here is my code, I have received all the rows but the issue with design not showing properly. Second page mixed with header and 11 th row..
$scope.generatePDF = function () {
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 = $('#div_print')[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: 10,
left: 10,
width: 800
};
// 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('PriceList.pdf');
}, margins);
}
Here I used:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.4/jspdf.min.js"></script>
<script src="../Scripts/Pdf.js"></script>
Here is my result
I am exporting the data present inside the div to PDF when user click on the export button. I want to show each div content to show in individual pages inside the PDF.
The above scenario is working in the demo https://plnkr.co/edit/KvkVlYmmmJiZ71sghb1l?p=preview
The same when applied to below code, it is not working.
Demo here : https://plnkr.co/edit/P9nUSRY5TytkonM6dUHl?p=preview
js code:
$scope.export = function() {
var pdf = new jsPDF('landscape');
var source = $('#append-source');
$('.myDivClass').each(function(){
var html = "<div>"+$(this) + "</div><!--ADD_PAGE-->";//the code is broken with this line
// var html = $(this);
source.append(html);
});
console.log(source);
pdf.addHTML(
source, 0, 0, {
pagesplit: true
},
function(dispose){
pdf.save('test3.pdf');
}
);
}
It is not recommended to use jquery like this inside an angular app. To see why look here: Can we use both jQuery and Angular in our Web Application?
However what you want to do is possible if you put the following into your controller:
$scope.export = function() {
var pdf = new jsPDF('landscape');
var source = "";
var width1 = pdf.internal.pageSize.width;
$('.myDivClass').each(function(){
var textForPdfPage = $(this).children().eq(1).children()[0].textContent;
var html = "<div>"+ textForPdfPage + " </div><!--ADD_PAGE-->";
source+=html;
});
margins = {
top: 80,
bottom: 60,
left: 10,
width: '100%'
};
pdf.fromHTML(
source, // HTML string or DOM elem ref.
margins.left, // x coord
margins.top, { // y coord
'width': width1 // max width of content on PDF
},
function (dispose) {
pdf.save('test.pdf');
},
margins
);
}
Your main problem is that when you where trying to create your html string you only used $(this). $(this) gives you a jquery object. The string you want to put on the page is inside this object and is accessed using the jquery .children() method.
Here is a way of doing what you asked using addHTML() instead of fromHTML():
$scope.export = function() {
var pdf = new jsPDF('landscape');
var pdfName = 'test.pdf';
var options = {};
var $divs = $('.myDivClass') //jQuery object of all the myDivClass divs
var numRecursionsNeeded = $divs.length -1; //the number of times we need to call addHtml (once per div)
var currentRecursion=0;
//Found a trick for using addHtml more than once per pdf. Call addHtml in the callback function of addHtml recursively.
function recursiveAddHtmlAndSave(currentRecursion, totalRecursions){
//Once we have done all the divs save the pdf
if(currentRecursion==totalRecursions){
pdf.save(pdfName);
}else{
currentRecursion++;
pdf.addPage();
//$('.myDivClass')[currentRecursion] selects one of the divs out of the jquery collection as a html element
//addHtml requires an html element. Not a string like fromHtml.
pdf.addHTML($('.myDivClass')[currentRecursion], 15, 20, options, function(){
console.log(currentRecursion);
recursiveAddHtmlAndSave(currentRecursion, totalRecursions)
});
}
}
pdf.addHTML($('.myDivClass')[currentRecursion], 15, 20, options, function(){
recursiveAddHtmlAndSave(currentRecursion, numRecursionsNeeded);
});
}
I left the other answer so people can see both ways of doing it.
I have a link on my site to a pdf I'd like visitors to be able to view - but when clicked on, it has to be downloaded to be opened.
How can I get around this?
Ideally, I want to make it as easy as possible for potential clients - when they click on the link - it opens another tab/window with the pdf open.
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 = $('#customers')[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 link of that code is in this jsfiddle file is here.
http://jsfiddle.net/xzZ7n/4861/
Use this one doc.output('dataurlnewwindow');.
instead of pdf.save('Test.pdf');
I need your help,
If I refer to the following JSFiddle example: it function creates a nice PDF with a table in it that is already "prebuilt".
However, if I were to introduce a custom HTML string into the equation, the function goes stale mate and does nothing, no errors, no nothing. Why is this? The idea/concept does not seem farfetched to me? Here is the JSFiddle that I refer.
Here is the function in question:
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 = '<html><head></head><body><p>this is fun!</p></body></html>'
// 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);
}
