jsPDF-html2canvas

A combine usage with jsPDF & html2canvas-pro, which translating html content to PDF file. Written in Typescript.

> html2PDF function will auto fit the target dom width into PDF size. So no need to worry about the overflow part. And if the content height is over 1 pdf, it'll auto seperate it into another pdf page.

> Note: This package now uses html2canvas-pro instead of the original html2canvas for better performance and additional features.(version above v1.6.0)

Install

``
npm i jspdf-html2canvas
`

`js
import html2PDF from 'jspdf-html2canvas';

html2PDF(node, options);
`

since this plugin is an umd module, you can also use by cdn with /dist/jspdf-html2canvas.min.js, just remember to include both jspdf & html2canvas-pro cdn before this plugin.

`js



`




html2PDF([Node, NodeList], options)

convert specific DOM target to print it into PDF file.

Automatically, it'll save the file, or you can define the success callback to do with the jsPDF instance.

`html



Generate
`

`js
let btn = document.getElementById('btn');
let page = document.getElementById('page');

btn.addEventListener('click', function(){
html2PDF(page, {
jsPDF: {
format: 'a4',
},
imageType: 'image/jpeg',
output: './pdf/generate.pdf'
});
});
`

you can easily await the method to wait for pdf generated.

`js
async function printPdf() {
const pdf = await html2PDF(page, {
// ...
});
// do something with pdf(jsPdf instance)
}
`

> If there's some white space on top of the outputed PDF file, it might caused by the scroll problem, just add some settings for html2canvas-pro plugin as following. see the reference
`js
html2PDF(page, {
// ... other settings
html2canvas: {
scrollX: 0,
scrollY: -window.scrollY,
},
});
`

Custom multiple page supported

There might be some situation you want to print DOM seperately, just easily give the nodeList with length in it, will adjust every nodes inside seperately into a new page in the same PDF output.

for example:

`html



`

`js
const pages = document.getElementsByClassName('page');

btn.addEventListener('click', function(){
html2PDF(pages, {
jsPDF: {
format: 'a4',
},
imageType: 'image/jpeg',
output: './pdf/generate.pdf'
});
});
`
