jsPDF get the generated document as base64

Question

I´m trying to generate a PDF on my application, using something like this, from documentation:

var doc = new jsPDF();   

doc.html(document.body, {
   callback: function (doc) {
     doc.save();
   }
});

But what I need is to get this generated file, as a base64 content, to send as an attachment on an email. Is there a way to get this directly on callback?

You can do like below.

 var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'a4');

 pdf.html(document.getElementById('doc'), {
    callback: function (pdf) {

    // example text
    pdf.text(20, 20, 'Hello world!');
    pdf.text(20, 30, 'This is client-side Javascript, pumping out a PDF.');

    var base = pdf.output('datauri'); // directly to base664

    console.log("base64 is  ");
    console.log(base);

    // you can generate in another format also  like blob
     var out = pdf.output('blob');
    var reader = new FileReader();

    reader.readAsDataURL(out); 
    reader.onloadend = function() { // for blob to base64
         base64data = reader.result; 
         console.log("base64 data is ");               
         console.log(base64data );
    }
    pdf.save('DOC.pdf');

    }
    })
