I have an external html file that I would like to print as a PDF but I'm having trouble getting the example code to work as intended and I'm obviously missing something trivial when implementing it.
This is my code so far:
function savePDF(data) {
var parser = new DOMParser();
var htmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(data, 'text/html');
let pdf = new jsPDF('p','pt','a4');
pdf.addHTML(
htmlDoc.body, // HTML DOM element.
);
pdf.save("test.pdf");
}
Where data
is a string containing the html of the external webpage I wish to convert to a pdf.
Chrome is generating a TypeError: Cannot read property 'innerWidth' of null
This for example works perfectly (using fromHTML
instead of addHTML
) but the css/styling is missing:
function savePDF(data) {
var parser = new DOMParser();
var htmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(data, 'text/html');
let pdf = new jsPDF('p','pt','a4');
pdf.fromHTML(htmlDoc.body.innerHTML, 0, 0, {},
function(){pdf.save('test.pdf');
});
}
Sample html that I'm using:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>PDF Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="capture" style="padding: 10px; background: #f5da55">
<h4 style="color: #000; ">Hello world!</h4>
</div>
</body>
</html>
As the documentation says the addHtml method is deprecated ( http://raw.githack.com/MrRio/jsPDF/master/docs/global.html#addHTML), so i played a bit with your example and if you updated your code like this it works. You still have to work a bit to fix the width of div in the pdf.
