Convert canvas to PDF
Please see https://github.com/joshua-gould/canvas2pdf. This library creates a PDF representation of your canvas element, unlike the other proposed solutions which embed an image in a PDF document.
//Create a new PDF canvas context.
var ctx = new canvas2pdf.Context(blobStream());
//draw your canvas like you would normally
ctx.fillStyle='yellow';
ctx.fillRect(100,100,100,100);
// more canvas drawing, etc...
//convert your PDF to a Blob and save to file
ctx.stream.on('finish', function () {
var blob = ctx.stream.toBlob('application/pdf');
saveAs(blob, 'example.pdf', true);
});
ctx.end();
You can achieve this by utilizing the jsPDF library and the toDataURL function.
I made a little demonstration:
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
// draw a blue cloud
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(170, 80);
context.bezierCurveTo(130, 100, 130, 150, 230, 150);
context.bezierCurveTo(250, 180, 320, 180, 340, 150);
context.bezierCurveTo(420, 150, 420, 120, 390, 100);
context.bezierCurveTo(430, 40, 370, 30, 340, 50);
context.bezierCurveTo(320, 5, 250, 20, 250, 50);
context.bezierCurveTo(200, 5, 150, 20, 170, 80);
context.closePath();
context.lineWidth = 5;
context.fillStyle = '#8ED6FF';
context.fill();
context.strokeStyle = '#0000ff';
context.stroke();
download.addEventListener("click", function() {
// only jpeg is supported by jsPDF
var imgData = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg", 1.0);
var pdf = new jsPDF();
pdf.addImage(imgData, 'JPEG', 0, 0);
pdf.save("download.pdf");
}, false);<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.3/jspdf.min.js"></script>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="578" height="200"></canvas>
<button id="download">download</button>
